Vav
“Let your steadfast love come to me!
Yahweh!
Let your salvation come to me according to your promise!
Then I shall have an answer for those who taunt me.
I trust in your word.
Do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth.
My hope is in your ordinances.
I will keep your law continually,
Forever and ever.
I shall walk at liberty.
I have sought your precepts.
I will also speak of your decrees before kings.
I shall not be put to shame.
I find my delight in your commandments.
I love them!
I revere your commandments.
I love them!
I will meditate on your statutes.”
The psalmist wants the steadfast love of Yahweh to be with him. He wanted to be saved as Yahweh had promised. He trusted in the word of Yahweh. He did not want to be taunted. He had hope in the ordinances and laws of Yahweh. He wanted to continually walk in the liberty that God’s ordinances brought him. He wanted to tell kings about his God’s decrees. He delighted and loved the commandments of God. He wanted to meditate on all God’s statutes. So ends this section on the sixth consonant of the Hebrew alphabet, Vav.
