• “Koph”— dependence (vs. 145-152). (“Book 5.” by B. Anstey)
• Whole-hearted dependence upon the Lord when surrounded by enemies bent on mischief. (“Psalm 119:144-152: Division 19 (Koph)” by H. Smith)
• The psalmist expresses his whole-hearted dependence upon the Lord, seeking the consciousness that his prayer is heard. True dependence leads to obedience, therefore, he adds, “I will keep thy statutes.” (“Psalm 119:144-152: Division 19 (Koph)” by H. Smith)
• Here the soul expresses, and expresses to God, the sense of its dependence. This is an important point. We are dependent, know ourselves to be dependent, and remain quiescently so. This shows want of interest in that for which we are dependent, and want of reckoning on God's faithful love. If we did, we should cry. “If thou knewest and who it is thou wouldest have asked, and he would have given.” Here he cries with his whole heart, and declares his purpose of obedience to Jehovah's enactments.
