The Hebrew root word here is "סָמַךְ" (samak), which means to lean upon, support, or sustain. This word conveys a sense of reliance and trust in God's power to maintain and stabilize the believer. In the historical context of ancient Israel, the psalmist's request reflects a deep understanding of human frailty and the necessity of God's intervention in daily life. The imagery suggests a person leaning on a sturdy staff, symbolizing God's unwavering support. This plea is a reminder of the believer's dependence on God for spiritual and moral strength, encouraging a life of faith and trust in His providence. and I will be delivered and I will always regard Your statutes Parallel Commentaries ...
