The solution to our problems is God's unfailing love and His salvation. We need to know the love of the Lord and we need to experience His salvation.
Our experience of life and our experience of God help us to understand the Word of God. And the Word of God helps us to make sense of life and to know how to live in various situations.
The word of God needs to be in our mouth. We need to speak the word.
A person who knows God is a person who obeys the word of God. When we do this we live in true freedom. We can even speak the truth to rulers. We live in an age when society is increasingly anti-Christian. We need a confidence and a boldness, together with love and wisdom, to speak the truth to the world.
Notice the love for the word of God and His commands that permeates through all of this psalm. This is no dry adherence to a code or to a theology, but a deep love for the Lord and for His word, and from a man who received the love of God and longed for more of that love.
