1. Kept by the word of your lips (1-5)
How can I keep my heart pure? Only when God searches and purifies my heart can I be pure. If I hide his word in my heart, he will lead me in the paths of peace.
2. Keep me as the apple of your eye (6-13)
God loves me. When I call on him in prayer, he is ready to help. He will keep me as the apple of his eye; he will hide me in the shadow of his wings. There were times when David's enemies were too strong for him. They were hard-hearted and proud. Like a crouching lion, they sought his life. But he found security in God, for God is stronger than all enemies.
3. Satisfied with seeing your likeness (14,15)
Those who put their hope in worldly things find that worldly success can never satisfy the hungry and thirsty soul. God stills the hunger of those he loves. I am truly satisfied when I see his face.
Application: Lord, keep me from sin; protect me from my enemy, Satan.
One Word: The apple of God's eye
