Prayers with 'For I' Declarations in Psalm 119: For I believe Your commandments

"Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe Your commandments." - Psalm 119:66

The psalmist desires to acquire good judgment and knowledge, and in expressing this request to God, he presents the right argument: "For I believe in Your commandments." Without faith, he would not seek knowledge, and without faith, he could not expect to receive it. Because he believes in the Word of God, he wants to understand it in order to practice it. He demonstrates the right attitude towards the true Word: he believes in that Word, therefore, he asks for the right thing—to understand that Word in which he believes.

If you have faith, you can ask for good judgment and knowledge.
