Man after God’s heart

The Psalmist put his absolute trust, hope and delight in God’s ways or statutes in Psalm 119:41-56.

Psalms 119:41-54
[41]Show me how much you love me, Lord, and save me according to your promise.
[42]Then I can answer those who insult me     because I trust in your word.
[43]Enable me to speak the truth at all times,     because my hope is in your judgements.
[44]I will always obey your law, for ever and ever.
[45]I will live in perfect freedom, because I try to obey your teachings.
[46]I will announce your commands to kings     and I will not be ashamed.
[47]I find pleasure in obeying your commands,     because I love them.
[48]I respect and love your commandments; I will meditate on your instructions.
[49]Remember your promise to me, your servant;   it has given me hope.
[50]Even in my suffering I was comforted     because your promise gave me life.
[51]The proud are always scornful of me, but I have not departed from your law.
[52]I remember your judgements of long ago,     and they bring me comfort, O Lord.
[53]When I see the wicked breaking your law, I am filled with anger.
[54]During my brief earthly life I compose songs about your commands.
