Psalm 119:30
I have chosen the way of truth;
Your judgments I have laid before me.

Application: 

Psalm 119:25–32 The psalmist prays to be revived and strengthened by the Word. [His] life is down in the dust, and he is weary from grief (119:25, 28). The instruction of Scripture, however, enables him to avoid the allure of sin and the way of deceit (119:29). Therefore, he does not merely read God’s decrees—he clings to them (119:31).

As in Psalm 25:4–7, David requests divine guidance so that he might walk in God’s ways (25:4). He trusts in the Lord as the one who delivers (25:5) and calls on him to remember his faithful love (25:6)—his covenant love—instead of remembering his sins (25:7). 

David appeals to God based on the loyal, loving relationship they shared. The greater his intimacy with God, the greater his dependency on God. The greater his dependence on God, the greater his expectation of intervention and deliverance. This is why our covenant relationship with Christ is so critical. David knows that sins could interfere with God answering his requests, so he confesses them to position himself for divine favor.
