1. I have put my hope in your word (81-88)
God is a God of promise. When we trust his promises and wait on him, we grow in faith. We, like the psalmist, find waiting hard, but when we put our hope in God's word, we experience God's love and faithfulness. When we love God and seek to obey his word, adversaries will surely arise. But we must not forsake God's precepts. This is the time to hold more firmly to the promises of God.
2. Save me, for I am yours (89-96)
God's word is eternal; his faithfulness endures throughout all generations. When we delight in his word and seek to live by it, we can know and love God. His word is like his love letter to us. The world may fall apart, but God will save those who love him and walk according to his word. There is a limit to all human perfection, but God's word is boundless.
Application: Lord, I have put my hope in your word of promise. I am unfaithful, Lord, but you are faithful. Save me, for I am yours.
One Word: God's faithful promise is my hope
