Commentators unanimously highlight the link between the psalmist's declaration, "I will keep thy statutes," and his immediate prayer, "O forsake me not." This shows that Christian commitment is not rooted in self-reliance but in a deep awareness of our weakness and total dependence on God's sustaining grace to live obediently. Our "I will" must always be followed by a prayer for His help.
