The psalmist closes Psalm 119 not with triumphalism, but with dependence — showing that a soul sustained is one that clings to the Word of God’s grace and to the God of grace Himself. His prayers are shaped by the Word, his praises rooted in the Word, his help found in God’s nearness, and his hope anchored in God’s pursuit. For the blessed saint, and for us, true life is dependence on the Shepherd who seeks His sheep, sustains His people, and turns even death into gain.
