May Your loving devotion
The phrase "loving devotion" is translated from the Hebrew word "chesed," which is rich in meaning and often rendered as "steadfast love," "mercy," or "kindness." This word encapsulates God's covenantal love, a love that is unwavering and faithful. In the context of ancient Israel, "chesed" was understood as a binding commitment, reflecting God's unchanging nature and His promise to His people. This steadfast love is not based on human merit but on God's character, offering believers assurance and hope.

rest on us
The verb "rest" here implies a sense of permanence and peace. In Hebrew, the word "nuach" can mean to settle down, remain, or dwell. This suggests that God's loving devotion is not fleeting but is meant to be a constant presence in the lives of believers. Historically, the idea of God's presence resting upon His people is reminiscent of the Shekinah glory that filled the tabernacle and later the temple, symbolizing God's dwelling among His people. For Christians, this is fulfilled in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who brings God's love and peace into the believer's heart.

O LORD
The term "LORD" is a translation of the tetragrammaton YHWH, the personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal existence and His self-sufficiency. It is a reminder of His covenantal relationship with Israel and, by extension, with all who are grafted into the faith through Christ. The use of this name in the psalm underscores the personal and relational aspect of God's loving devotion.

even as we
This phrase introduces a conditional aspect to the verse, suggesting a reciprocal relationship between God and His people. It implies that the experience of God's loving devotion is connected to the response of the believer. This reflects the biblical principle that while God's love is unconditional, the fullness of experiencing His blessings often involves a response of faith and obedience.

hope in You
The word "hope" in Hebrew is "yachal," which conveys a sense of waiting with expectation and trust. This is not a passive waiting but an active trust in God's promises and character. In the biblical context, hope is often linked with faith and patience, as believers anticipate the fulfillment of God's promises. The object of this hope is "You," referring to God Himself, emphasizing that true hope is found not in circumstances or human strength but in the unchanging nature and promises of God. This hope is a central theme in the Christian life, providing strength and encouragement in the face of trials and uncertainties.

Verse 22. - Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. The measure of men's hope and trust in God is the measure of his mercy and goodness to them. Those who are assured that they have a full trust in him may confidently expect a fall and complete deliverance. Thus, "according as" - כַאֲשֶׁר - is emphatic.
