Just as the tabernacle was the habitation of God while the Israelites traveled in the wilderness, so the Torah is the habitation of His word today for the Jewish people, and for the Believer it is the Word of God.Vav 41 May Your unfailing love find me,

Vav

⁴¹May Your favor also come to me, Lord,
Your salvation according to Your word;
⁴²So that I will have an answer for one who taunts me,
For I trust in Your word.
⁴³And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
For I wait for Your judgments.
⁴⁴So I will keep Your Law continually,
Forever and ever.
⁴⁵And I will walk at liberty,
For I seek Your precepts.
⁴⁶I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings
And shall not be ashamed.
⁴⁷I will delight in Your commandments,
Which I love.
⁴⁸And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments,
Which I love;
And I will meditate on Your statutes.
