I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts.
If I am truly seeking Your precepts, I will be filled with the joy of the Kingdom; if there is not within me a burning desire to know You, then I have missed the mark, I am relying on my own strength.
The wicked lie in wait to destroy me, but I consider your testimonies.
See the connection here, John? The protection of the Hand of God is upon those who consider (pay attention to) His testimonies, to His directions for living a holy life. And I can do that through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit, a great and precious gift from my Lord and Savior.
