The Lord Will

Psalm 119:42

β€œSo shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 119

Meaning

Waw (vv.41–48) connects confidence in God's word with an answer to social reproach.

Waw

Mercy and salvation produce confident testimony, freedom, and delight in God's commands.

Read carefully

The text describes the speaker's confidence before reproach, not exemption from evidence, honesty, or correction.

Reflection

Respond from grounded conviction and evidence rather than anger.
