75 I KNOW, O LORD, THAT THY JUDGMENTS ARE RIGHT, AND THAT THOU IN FAITHFULNESS HAST AFFLICTED ME.
Yes, Lord, because of Your great FAITHFULNESS, You have dealt with me in a "hard" way. It is because You desire my sanctification and holiness. It is because of Your great LOVE for me that You have allowed this illness. Thy judgments are right! Thank-You, Lord, that my sickness, by Your grace, has forced me to cry unto You for mercy...especially to overcome my BESETTING SINS.
76 LET, I PRAY THEE, THY MERCIFUL KINDNESS BE FOR MY COMFORT, ACCORDING TO THY WORD UNTO THY SERVANT.
"Merciful Kindness" can mean "beauty" according to Strong's.
Lord, thy BEAUTIFUL righteousness, which is not my own, is imputed to me. Hallelujah! Let this be my COMFORT when I am sick and afflicted!
"Beauty" also makes me think of Your Spirit, Lord . When Your Spirit blows it is a BEAUTIFUL thing! It is evidence of Your MERCIFUL KINDNESS to us. Come, Holy spirit! Sweep and blow upon us, and change our lives for Your glory! "Let the BEAUTY of the Lord our God be upon us..."! I long for us to be filled to overflowing with YOU! Indeed, O Lord, this would be my COMFORT in my affliction! By thy grace, I will endure what You have brought my way until You heal me...only let Your HOLY SPIRIT FALL on us! Be to each one I love
a "TREASURE CHEST OF HOLY JOY"! (As Piper says)
