The law in Psalm 119 is identified very closely with God; it is life-giving, eternal and synonymous with God's word. The law is described as the way of true life and wholeness and is the supreme expression of God's love and faithfulness. The law understood in terms of the Trinity is not only God's command to the believer as they participate in Christ, but involves God's saving action on the believer's behalf as they are made into the likeness of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Here law and love, mortification and vivification, find complete unity in the reconciling work of the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit.
