I have done justice and righteousness; Do not leave me to my oppressors. Be surety for Your servant for good; Do not let the proud oppress me. My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation And Your righteous word.
Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, And teach me Your statutes. I am Your servant; Give me understanding, That I may know Your testimonies. It is time for You to act, O LORD, For they have regarded Your law as void. Therefore I love Your commandments More than gold, yes, than fine gold! Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way.
The phrase that jumps out at me is the first two sentences of the second paragraph. In some ways, it is a summation of thee 119th. It is Ish Elohim call for a focus on the precious psalm that sums up his, and my, for understanding of the Word of the LORD. Each of us is called to dig into the Word and pull out, make it our own understanding so that we can know the testimonies in a way that will lead us to an application of the Word according to the mercies of the LORD, God, the Almighty.
