The Psalmist is contrasting the course of the UNBELIEVERS to the Faithfulness of God to those that honor Him and His Rewards to His Faithful

Jesus heals a leper,touching him..Jesus forgives sins evidenced by healing a cripple and exposes the rigidity of the Pharisees and Scribes (Luke 5:12-26)

In His Sermon on the Mount,Jesus uses illustrations to describe the results of following the truth and the benefits therefrom and of refusing to do so with dire consequences forthcoming..

In Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, He deals with judging others by our own standards.Also,He encourages us to ask of the Father whatever it is we 'need' according to God's will,that is..for frivolous asking is ignored by God(Ask in Faith..he admonishes)

The apostle Paul admonishes to us the need to 'speak with mouth' our Confession of Christ as Lord,to be saved..

The Psalmist's determination is seen in his fervor for the ways of God,letting nothing or no one hinder his relationship with God,his Father.

Jesus,after washing the disciples feet,Teaches on the Servant Principle..something not encouraged in this age of 'ME'ism

The Lord Jesus washes the feet of His disciples;A Show of Humility from Jesus to teach us the 'need to serve in humility';With God,motive is everything..What are our motives?

The writer of the 119 Psalm expresses,in these verses, his love for the law of the Lord and it's benefits to his walk.

This Psalm extols the power and majesty of the Lord God;demons tremble at His coming and presence
