May Your loving devotion
The Hebrew word for "loving devotion" is "חֶסֶד" (chesed), which is often translated as "steadfast love," "mercy," or "kindness." This term is rich with covenantal significance, reflecting God's unwavering commitment and loyalty to His people. In the context of the Old Testament, chesed is a defining characteristic of God's relationship with Israel, emphasizing His faithfulness and grace. The psalmist's plea for God's loving devotion is a request for the tangible experience of God's enduring love, which is foundational to the believer's relationship with the Divine.

come to me
The phrase "come to me" indicates a personal and intimate request for God's presence and action in the psalmist's life. It suggests a deep yearning for a direct encounter with God's love and mercy. This reflects the personal nature of faith, where the believer seeks not just knowledge of God but an experiential relationship. The psalmist's desire for God's loving devotion to "come" implies an active and dynamic interaction, where God's love is not static but continually reaching out to His people.

O LORD
The use of "O LORD" here is significant, as it translates the Hebrew "יְהוָה" (YHWH), the personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name is associated with God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenantal faithfulness. By invoking the name of the LORD, the psalmist is appealing to the God who is both transcendent and immanent, the One who is both the Creator of the universe and the personal God of Israel. This invocation underscores the psalmist's trust in God's character and His promises.

Your salvation
The term "salvation" in Hebrew is "יְשׁוּעָה" (yeshuah), which encompasses deliverance, rescue, and safety. In the Old Testament, salvation often refers to God's intervention in history to save His people from physical or spiritual peril. The psalmist's request for "Your salvation" is a plea for divine intervention and deliverance, rooted in the understanding that true salvation comes from God alone. This reflects a reliance on God's power and grace to bring about redemption and restoration.

according to Your promise
The phrase "according to Your promise" highlights the basis of the psalmist's confidence in God's loving devotion and salvation. The Hebrew word for "promise" is "אִמְרָה" (imrah), which can also mean "word" or "utterance." This indicates that the psalmist's hope is grounded in the reliability and truth of God's spoken word. Throughout Scripture, God's promises are seen as sure and steadfast, providing a foundation for faith and hope. The psalmist's appeal to God's promise underscores the belief that God is faithful to His word and will fulfill what He has spoken.

Verse 41. - Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord; rather, and let thy mercies come unto me. Each verse of this stanza begins with the van conjunctive. Even thy salvation, according to thy Word; or, "thy promise" (imrah). God's Word was pledged, that he would grant mercy and salvation to all his faithful servants (Deuteronomy 28:1-13).
