The Deep Desire to Belong

The psalmist expresses a profound desire not just to be saved, but to be fully identified with God's people. Commentators explain this is a prayer to share in the unique blessings, joy, and honor that belong exclusively to God's 'chosen,' His 'nation,' and His 'inheritance.' It's a desire to be counted among them and experience their reality.
