Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
The verse is a prayer asking God to let His mercies and His salvation come to the one praying, in keeping with His word. Trust in that word supplies an answer to give to those who bring reproach. That same trust upholds hope in God's judgments, making it possible to go on keeping God's law.
Keeping God's law in this way means keeping it continually. It is joined to walking in liberty. It is joined also to speaking of God's testimonies before others without being ashamed.
