“Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.”
Psalms 119:122 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 119:122
Be surety for thy servant for good (עֲרֹב עַבְדְּךָ לְטוֹב, arov avdekha l'tov)—The verb arav means to stand as guarantor or pledge security, used of Judah's surety for Benjamin (Gen 43:9). The psalmist asks God Himself to become his bondsman against oppressors—a bold request fulfilled in Christ, who became surety of the better covenant (Heb 7:22).Let not the proud oppress me (זֵדִים, zedim)—The proud/arrogant ones who presumptuously violate God's law. This echoes v. 51, 69, 78, 85—a recurring threat throughout the psalm, representing those who reject divine authority.
