“The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.”
The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes. The recognition that the earth manifests God's 'steadfast love' prompts petition for instruction ('teach me your statutes'). This verse connects creation's evidence of covenant love to the desire for Torah-knowledge.
