As I have been reading the bible, I am not in Psalms. “Revive Me” has really stood out. So, I have been doing a study:
You who have shown me many troubles and distresses Willrevive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
[ Daleth. ] My soul cleaves to the dust; Revive me according to Your word.
Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity, And revive me in Your ways.
Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me through Your righteousness.
This is my comfort in my affliction, That Your word has revivedme.
Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.
I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have revivedme.
I am exceedingly afflicted; Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; Revive me, OLord, according to Your ordinances.
Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word.
Great are Your mercies, O Lord; Revive me according to Your ordinances.
Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.
For the sake of Your name, O Lord, reviveme. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
The patterns:
We see the situation and the element that revives.
