 Mercy, too, is looked for as life-giving to himself. It is not only comfort from without, but the restoration of the soul itself, and so is it kept firmly, and with good courage, and confidence, the testimonies of God's mouth. Thus sorrow itself and great pressure, where there is integrity, become a plea with God. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:73-120 by J.N. Darby)
 In the consciousness of this the saint turns to God, not only for outward deliverance, but for inward quickening that, revived in soul, he may be able to walk in obedience to the Word. (Psalm 119:81-88: Division 11 (Caph) by H. Smith)
