What Does Psalms 119:29 Mean?
'Remove from me the way of lying' is a prayer against deception. The psalmist does not say 'I will stop lying' but asks God to remove the path itself—to redirect his steps away from falsehood. This shows reliance on God's power.
'And grant me thy law graciously' presents the positive alternative. The psalmist asks God to give him access to, and the ability to follow, God's law—not as demand but as gracious gift.
