Psalms 119:121-128, the psalmist is pleading his case before God. While his oppressors have come up against him so far he has remained faithful to the precepts of God. He has kept his mouth shut and his weapons down. He has allowed God to do whatever He wills.

Then we come to this section of scripture where it seems everything stops. It is that defining moment in a movie when you know from the music that something is about to happen. Nothing is taking place as far as the eye can see but you can sense something is about to take place so you brace yourself.

The writer senses it too. So he pleads his case to God. Listen to what he is able to say.
"I have done justice" "I have done righteousness" "I have longed for Thy salvation"

He is able to hold his head up instead of bowing it in shame knowing he has handled this situation the way God wanted him to handle it. So he pleads to God that on behalf of his integrity, "God, do not leave me to my oppressors" and "do not let the arrogant oppress me."

He is simply asking God to act. Do you need God to act on your part today? Trust me when I say He will! All you have to do is ask after you do what the psalmist did and present yourself as a clean vessel of integrity who has handled your tight situation in the way God has commanded.

Prayer: "Lord, you know what I face on a daily basis. Please help me to live and to react in a way of integrity. And do not allow the oppressors to come any closer."
