I read psalm 119, and I think here is guy begging God to help him. God has punished him before for his transgressions and now he’s obedient. There’re people intending to kill him, and those people do not obey God. He mentions God’s promises to him, and that time is of the essence.
All of the descriptions I’ve read of this psalm talk about the poetry, the beauty and glory of god’s laws, and the happiness attained from following those laws.
I see a desperate man arguing that God owes him. Is that how it works?
