I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.
Psalms 119:8, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The speaker is the psalmist, a covenant believer addressing God directly in the opening stanza of this long acrostic poem, where each line begins with the same Hebrew letter. Having just asked in verse 5 that his ways were firmly committed, he now makes a resolve and a plea in one breath: he will keep God's statutes, and he asks God not to abandon him completely.
