The Psalmist, out of the experience of former mercies, prays for continuance thereof.8. He promises to wait thereon, out of confidence of God's goodness Show us Your loving devotion This phrase is a plea for God to reveal His steadfast love, a central theme throughout the Psalms. The Hebrew word for "loving devotion" is "chesed," which encompasses mercy, kindness, and covenantal loyalty. This request reflects the Israelites' reliance on God's faithful love, especially during times of distress or uncertainty. The concept of "chesed" is foundational in understanding God's relationship with His people, as seen in His covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3) and His promises to David (2 Samuel 7:12-16). It is a reminder of God's unchanging nature and His commitment to His people, which is echoed in Lamentations 3:22-23, where His mercies are described as new every morning.
