Context of Psalms 119:132
130The unfolding of Your [glorious] words give light; Their unfolding gives understanding to the simple (childlike). 131I opened my mouth and panted [with anticipation], Because I longed for Your commandments. Turn to me and be gracious to me and show me favor, As is Your way to those who love Your name. 133Establish my footsteps in [the way of] Your word; Do not let any human weakness have power over me [causing me to be separated from You]. 134Redeem me from the oppression of man; That I may keep Your precepts.
