135. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant. Oppressors frown, but do thou smile. Shine upon me, and all will be bright. The psalmist again declares that he is God’s servant, and he seeks for no favor from others, but only from his own Lord and Master. And teach me thy statutes. This is the favor which he considers to be the shining of the face of God upon him. If the Lord will be exceeding gracious, and make him his favorite, he will ask no higher blessing than still to be taught the royal statutes. The most favored believer needs teaching; even when he walks in the light of God’s countenance he has still to be taught the divine statutes or he will transgress.
