Be surety for thy servant for good [ Ensure your servant’s well-being ]: let not the proud oppress me. – Psalms 119:122

Be surety for thy servant for good [ Ensure your servant’s well-being ]: let not the proud oppress me. – Psalms 119:122

Dearly beloved brethren, you do not have any reason to be afraid of what the enemies of God, can do against you..

No doubt they shall surely gather to do evil.

Isaiah 54:15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

Beloved you have assurance and reassurance from the scriptures that, our Lord shall deliver you from all satanic ills, all the days of your life. See the following scriptures.

Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

2 Corinthians 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

2 Timothy 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Colossians 1:12-13 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Be surety for thy servant for good [ Ensure your servant’s well-being ]: let not the proud oppress me. – Psalms 119:122

King David, because of the recurrent incursion of the wicked ones against his life, pleaded with the Lord for reassurance of his safety. See this.

Be surety for thy servant for good [ Ensure your servant’s well-being ]: let not the proud oppress me. – Psalms 119:122

See this scripture amplified.

Be surety for thy servant, for good undertake for me against those that would run me down and ruin me.” He is sensible that he cannot make his part good himself, and therefore begs that God would appear for him. Christ is our surety with God and, if he be so, Providence shall be our surety against all the world. Who or what shall harm us if God’s power and goodness be engaged for our protection and rescue? He does not prescribe to God what he should do for him only let it be for good, in such way and manner as Infinite Wisdom sees best “only let me not be left to my oppressors.” Though David had done judgment and justice, yet he had many enemies but, having God for his friend, he hoped they should not have their will against him and in that hope he prayed again, Let not the proud oppress me. David, one of the best of men, was oppressed by the proud, whom God beholds afar off the condition therefore of the persecuted is better than that of the persecutors, and will appear so at last.

Beloved, see the reason why king David, was pleading with the Lord to guarantee, the security of his life.

Psalms 119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.

Psalms 119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

Psalms 119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

Psalms 119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

Be surety for thy servant for good [ Ensure your servant’s well-being ]: let not the proud oppress me. – Psalms 119:122

The good Lord defended king David and the counsels of the proud oppressors came to nought

Psalms 91:14-16 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

This same thing shall the good Lord continue to do for you as you cleave to Him in holiness and righteousness.

Isaiah 54:14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

Job 5:12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

Proverbs 19:21 There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

The good Lord shall guarantee your safety till Christ comes in Jesus name.

Be surety for thy servant for good [ Ensure your servant’s well-being ]: let not the proud oppress me. – Psalms 119:122

My flesh trembleth [ shuddereth ] for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments [ rules, lawsa and regulations ]. – Psalms 119:120

Dearly beloved brethren, as a Bible believing believer, you must cultivate right attitude before God at all times and in all places

This because your Father in heaven is both a God of love and justice.

Psalms 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

Psalms 89:7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

It is very very important that you always behave appropriately before Him with reverential fear.

The scriptures reveals the biblical ways Bible believers like you should be relating with Him.

See the following:

1. Trembling at God’s unfailing unchanging eternal words?

Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

Isaiah 66:5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

Ezra 9:4 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.

Ezra 10:3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

Habakkuk 3:16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.

Acts 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

Acts 16:29-30 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

My flesh trembleth [ shuddereth ] for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments [ rules, laws, decrees and regulations ]. – Psalms 119:120

2. Godly biblical conduct and reverential fear

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

3. Broken and contrite heart

Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

4. Poor in the spirit

Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

My flesh trembleth [ shuddereth ] for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments [ rules, laws, decrees and regulations ]. – Psalms 119:120

Beloved brethren, it was the understanding of the love and justice of God, that made king David to conduct himself appropriately before Him . See it yourself.

My flesh trembleth [ shuddereth ] for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments [ rules, laws, decrees and regulations ]. – Psalms 119:120

See this same passage in other Bible versions.

NLT
Psalms 119:120 I tremble in fear of you; I stand in awe of your regulations.

AMP BIBLE
Psalm 119:120 My flesh trembles and shudders for fear and reverential, worshipful awe of You, and I am afraid and in dread of Your judgments.

Dearly beloved, see how the scriptures further affirms the right conduct of king David towards God.

Psalms 119:161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

Psalms 51:1-4 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 51:2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Remember the Bible says you should follow what is good, so begin to relate with God, henceforth with reverential fear, like king David.

3 John 1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

My flesh trembleth [ shuddereth ] for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments [ rules, laws, decrees and regulations ]. – Psalms 119:120

Thou hast trodden down all them that err [ You reject all who stray ] from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. – Psalms 119:118

Dearly beloved brethren, I want to plead with you in the name of the Lord, that you should do everything to sustain your relationship with the Lord, to the end.

It is true that, as a Bible believing believer, you shall face challenges ,but don’t allow the trial of faith to separate you from following the Lord to the end.

The reason for this admonition is because , God is displeased if anyone turns back from following Him.

Jer 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

In addition there are earthly and eternal consequences for departing from the Lord.

See what the following scriptures says about the consequences of departing from the Lord.

1. Such a person shall face the wrath of God.

Joshua 24:20 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

2. God shall forsake the person here and hereafter.

1 Chronicles 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

2 Chronicles 15:2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

Thou hast trodden down all them that err [ You reject all who stray ] from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. – Psalms 119:118

See instances of fearful punishment from God to king Solomon and king Saul.

King Solomon.

1 Kings 11:6-11 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 11:7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 11:8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. 11:9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, 11:10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. 11:11 Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

2. King Saul.

1 Chronicles 10:13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;

King David in his time have seen over and over, the aftermath of those who departed from following the Lord, wrote to warm God’s people of all ages and you in particular, to do everything to avoid it. See it yourself.

Thou hast trodden down all them that err [ You reject all who stray ] from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. – Psalms 119:118

See this same passage in other Bible version.

NLT
Psalms 119:118 But you have rejected all who stray from your decrees. They are only fooling themselves.

See this same passage amplified.

Here is, I. God’s judgment on wicked people, on those that wander from his statutes, that take their measures from other rules and will not have God to reign over them. All departure from God’s statutes is certainly an error, and will prove a fatal one. These are the wicked of the earth; they mind earthly things, lay up their treasures in the earth, live in pleasure on the earth, and are strangers and enemies to heaven and heavenly things. Now see how God deals with them, that you may neither fear them nor envy them. 1. He treads them all down. He brings them to ruin, to utter ruin, to shameful ruin; he makes them his footstool. Though they are ever so high, he can bring them low (Amos 2:9); he has done it many a time, and he will do it, for he resists the proud and will triumph over those that oppose his kingdom. Proud persecutors trample upon his people, but, sooner or later, he will trample upon them

Beloved I beseech you to heed this warning and determindly follow the Lord, through thick and thin to the end. The good Lord shall help you in particular in Jesus name.

Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Thou hast trodden down all them that err [ You reject all who stray ] from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. – Psalms 119:118

Uphold [ sustain ] me according unto thy word [ saying and decrees ], that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. – Psalms 119:116

Dearly beloved brethren, except the good Lord upholds, every Bible believing believers like you, things happening around you or happening in your life might give you concern

Our Lord said at the end of time, iniquity shall abound and the love of many shall wax cold.

Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Also because of the happenings of the last days, that the Bible refers to as perilous times

2Ti 3:1 — 2Ti 3:5 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

These things might bring avoidable concerns to a faithful Bible believing believer, wondering, whether, he or she would be able to endure to the end.

Uphold [ sustain ] me according unto thy word [ saying and decrees ], that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. – Psalms 119:116

Beloved at a time like this, you must do what saints and believers in Bible days and even in our contemporary times are doing.

1. Lean and depend entirely on His sufficiency and unfailing grace.

2Co 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

2. Believe His promises to be kept and sustained.

Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

These two things shall guarantee your continuity to the end, without being put to shame.

Psalms 34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

Isaiah 49:23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

Uphold [ sustain ] me according unto thy word [ saying and decrees ], that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. – Psalms 119:116

Isa 50:7 For the Lord God will help me;therefore shall I not be confounded:therefore have I set my face like a flint,and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Romans 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

These two things were the succor that kept king David, going in his days.

1. Total faith in God’s unfailing unchanging and eternal promises.

2. Hope in the unfailing faithfulness of God to help him not to be put to shame. See it yourself.

Uphold [ sustain ] me according unto thy word [ saying and decrees ], that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. – Psalms 119:116

Beloved see this same passage in other Bible versions.

NLT
Psalms 119:116 lord, sustain me as you promised, that I may live! Do not let my hope be crushed.

AMP BIBLE
Psalm 119:116 Uphold me according to Your promise, that I may live; and let me not be put to shame in my hope!

See the same passage amplified.

Uphold me according unto thy Word, that I may live; or, “according to thy promise” God’s sustaining grace, always needed to “uphold” the righteous, is graciously “promised” them. Their “life” depends upon God’s faithfulness to his promise. And let me not be ashamed of my hope. As he would be, if God’s promise were not kept.

King David was not put to shame ultimately.

Psalms 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Psalms 31:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

Psa 37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time:and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

As you also depend wholeheartedly on God’s eternal unfailing and unchanging words and hold unto His faithfulness to keep you from slipping into shame, your lifelong victory shall be guaranteed.

Isaiah 50:10 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

2 Timothy 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

It shall be so in Jesus name.

Uphold [ sustain ] me according unto thy word [ saying and decrees ], that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. – Psalms 119:116
