The earth is filled
This phrase emphasizes the omnipresence of God's love and mercy. The Hebrew word for "filled" is "מָלֵא" (male), which conveys a sense of completeness and abundance. Historically, this reflects the ancient understanding of God's creation as a testament to His character. The earth, in its vastness and beauty, is a canvas displaying God's loving devotion, reminding believers that His presence and care are not confined to the heavens but permeate all of creation.

with Your loving devotion
The term "loving devotion" is translated from the Hebrew word "חֶסֶד" (chesed), which is rich in meaning, encompassing love, mercy, kindness, and faithfulness. In the context of the Old Testament, "chesed" is a covenantal term, reflecting God's steadfast love and loyalty to His people. This word reassures believers of God's unwavering commitment and benevolence, encouraging them to trust in His enduring promises.

O LORD
The use of "LORD" in all capital letters signifies the Hebrew name "יהוה" (YHWH), often vocalized as Yahweh. This is the personal, covenantal name of God, revealed to Moses in the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). It underscores God's eternal existence and His intimate relationship with His people. By invoking this name, the psalmist acknowledges God's sovereignty and personal involvement in the lives of His followers.

teach me
The plea "teach me" reflects a humble and earnest desire for divine instruction. The Hebrew verb "לָמַד" (lamad) implies learning through practice and experience. This request highlights the psalmist's recognition of human limitations and the need for God's guidance to live a life aligned with His will. It is a call for transformation and growth in understanding and applying God's truth.

Your statutes
"Statutes" is derived from the Hebrew word "חֹק" (choq), which refers to decrees or laws that are appointed by God. These are not merely legalistic rules but are seen as divine principles that lead to a righteous and fulfilling life. In the historical context of Israel, statutes were integral to maintaining a covenant relationship with God. The psalmist's request to learn God's statutes reflects a deep commitment to living according to His divine order and wisdom.

Verse 64. - The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy (comp. Psalm 33:5). God's mercy is "over all his works" (Psalm 145:9). The whole world is full of it. Pessimistic views are opposed to the entire tenor of Scripture. Teach me thy statutes (comp. vers. 12, 26, 33, 68, 108, 124, 135).
