I love these words: “The earth is filled with your love, LORD;
teach me your decrees” (119:64).
24:1: “The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it.”
33:5: “The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.”
104:24: “How many are your works, LORD!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.”
I think the decrees of which he speaks in 119:64b reflect that love and he sees God’s love in the universal acclamation of God’s decrees.
No matter where the psalmist goes — and he’s been chased all over the Land — he finds God’s mercy everywhere he goes. In fact, the world is full of it — the way vessels are full to overflowing, the ocean filled with swimming creatures, a house with smoke, and the life filled with God’s Spirit.
The whole earth, he says, is filled with God’s merciful love.
