Psalms 119:175
Let me live to praise You; may Your judgments sustain me.
BSB
ASV
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; And let thine ordinances help me.
KJV
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
But in this faith, though the heathen rage furiously, and the people imagine a vain thing: though the flesh be slain while it preaches You: "My soul shall live, and shall praise You: and Your judgments shall help me" [Psalm 119:175]. These are those judgments, which it was time should begin at the house of the Lord. [1 Peter 4:17] But "they will help me," he says. And who cannot see how much the blood of the Church has aided the Church? How great a harvest has risen in the whole world from that sowing?
