Still the poet continues to rely on God’s help. Surely God will one day bring him to the place he fervently longs for. Therefore, he begs for God’s light and truth (see Psalm 19:10; Psalm 25:5, Psalm 25:10). What is intended is the light of mercy or loving-kindness which is coupled with the truth of fidelity to the promises; the light, in which the will or purpose of love, which is God’s most special nature, becomes outwardly manifest. The poet wishes to be guided by these two angels of God
(Psalm 57:4).1 By that good guidance he will surely end up at the holy mountain—yes, with God himself. This is his greatest desire, the best destiny of his life. After all, there he will be able to meet the living God (Psalm 84:2–4)!
3 Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!
