Psalm 119:41-48

   ו Waw
⁴¹ May your unfailing love come to me, LORD,
   your salvation, according to your promise;
⁴² then I can answer anyone who taunts me,
   for I trust in your word.
⁴³ Never take your word of truth from my mouth,
   for I have put my hope in your laws.
⁴⁴ I will always obey your law,
   for ever and ever.
⁴⁵ I will walk about in freedom,
   for I have sought out your precepts.
⁴⁶ I will speak of your statutes before kings
   and will not be put to shame,
⁴⁷ for I delight in your commands
   because I love them.
⁴⁸ I reach out for your commands, which I love,
   that I may meditate on your decrees.

Psalms 119:41-48

Lord, I have by faith thy mercies in view; let me by prayer prevail to obtain them. And when the salvation of the saints is completed, it will plainly appear that it was not in vain to trust in God's word.

We need to pray that we may never be afraid or ashamed to own God's truths and ways before men. And the psalmist resolves to keep God's law, in a constant course of obedience, without backsliding.

The service of sin is slavery; the service of God is liberty. There is no full happiness, or perfect liberty, but in keeping God's law.

We must never be ashamed or afraid to own our religion. The more delight we take in the service of God, the nearer we come to perfection.

Not only consent to his law as good, but take pleasure in it as good for us. Let me put forth all the strength I have, to do it. Something of this mind of Christ is in every true disciple.

LORD YOU ARE GOOD! (live) by Lincoln Brewster

Psalm 119:33-40

   ה He
³³ Teach me, LORD, the way of your decrees,
   that I may follow it to the end.^[b]
³⁴ Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law
   and obey it with all my heart.
³⁵ Direct me in the path of your commands,
   for there I find delight.
³⁶ Turn my heart toward your statutes
   and not toward selfish gain.
³⁷ Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
   preserve my life according to your word.^[c]
³⁸ Fulfill your promise to your servant,
   so that you may be feared.
³⁹ Take away the disgrace I dread,
   for your laws are good.
⁴⁰ How I long for your precepts!
   In your righteousness preserve my life.

Psalms 119:33-40

Teach me thy statutes, not the mere words, but the way of applying them to myself.

God, by his Spirit, gives a right understanding. But the Spirit of revelation in the word will not suffice, unless we have the Spirit of wisdom in the heart. God puts his Spirit within us, causing us to walk in his statutes. The sin here prayed against is covetousness. Those that would have the love of God rooted in them, must get the love of the world rooted out; for the friendship of the world is enmity with God.

Quicken me in thy way; to redeem time, and to do every duty with liveliness of spirit. Beholding vanity deadens us, and slackens our pace; a traveler must not stand gazing upon every object that presents itself to his view.

The promises of God's word greatly relate to the preservation of the true believer.

When Satan has drawn a child of God into worldly compliance, he will reproach him with the falls into which he led him.

Victory must come from the cross of Christ.

When we enjoy the sweetness of God's precepts, it will make us long for more acquaintance with them. And where God has wrought to will, he will work to do.

Psalm 119:25-32

ד Daleth
²⁵ I am laid low in the dust;
   preserve my life according to your word.
²⁶ I gave an account of my ways and you answered me;
   teach me your decrees.
²⁷ Cause me to understand the way of your precepts,
   that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds.
²⁸ My soul is weary with sorrow;
   strengthen me according to your word.
²⁹ Keep me from deceitful ways;
   be gracious to me and teach me your law.
³⁰ I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
   I have set my heart on your laws.
³¹ I hold fast to your statutes, LORD;
   do not let me be put to shame.
³² I run in the path of your commands,
   for you have broadened my understanding.

Psalm 119:25-32

- Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Resources » Commentaries » Psalm » Chapter 119 » exegesis

While the souls of the children of this world cleave to the earth as their portion, the children of light are greatly burdened, because of the remains of carnal affections in their hearts. It is unspeakable comfort to a gracious soul, to think with what tenderness all its complaints are received by a gracious God. We can talk of the wonders of redeeming love, when we understand the way of God's precepts, and walk in that way. The penitent melts in sorrow for sin: even the patient
spirit may melt in the sense of affliction, it is then its interest to pour out its soul before God. The way of lying means all false ways by which men deceive themselves and others, or are deceived by Satan and his instruments. Those who know and love the law of the Lord, desire to know it more, and love it better. The way of serious godliness is the way of truth; the only true way to happiness: we must always have actual regard to it. Those who stick to the word of God, may in faith expect
and pray for acceptance with God. Lord, never leave me to do that by which I shall shame myself, and do not thou reject my services. Those that are going to heaven, should still press forward. God, by his Spirit, enlarges the hearts of his people when he gives them wisdom. The believer prays to be set free from sin.

Michael W. Smith - Open the eyes of my heart

Good Morning Today is 1.27.2011

Psalm 119:17-24

ג Gimel
¹⁷ Be good to your servant while I live,
   that I may obey your word.
¹⁸ Open my eyes that I may see
   wonderful things in your law.
¹⁹ I am a stranger on earth;
   do not hide your commands from me.
²⁰ My soul is consumed with longing
   for your laws at all times.
²¹ You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed,
   those who stray from your commands.
²² Remove from me their scorn and contempt,
   for I keep your statutes.
²³ Though rulers sit together and slander me,
   your servant will meditate on your decrees.
²⁴ Your statutes are my delight;
   they are my counselors.

Psalm 119 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Resources » Commentaries » Psalm » Chapter 119 » exegesis

Psalms 119:17-24

If God deals in strict justice with us, we all perish. We ought to spend our lives in his service; we shall find true life in keeping his word.

Those that would see the wondrous things of God's law and gospel must beg him to give them understanding, by the light of his Spirit.

Believers feel themselves strangers on earth; they fear missing their way, and losing comfort by erring from God's commandments.

Every sanctified soul hungers after the word of God, as food which there is no living without.

There is something of pride at the bottom of every willful sin. God can silence lying lips; reproach and contempt may humble and do us good, and then they shall be removed.

Do we find the weight of the cross is above that we are able to bear? He that bore it for us will enable us to bear it; upheld by him we cannot sink.

It is sad when those who should protect the innocent, are their betrayers.

The psalmist went on in duty, and he found comfort in the word of God. The comforts of the word of God are most pleasant to a gracious soul, when other comforts are made bitter; and those that would have God's testimonies to be their delight, must be advised by them.

May the Lord direct us in exercising repentance of sin, and faith in Christ.

Psalm 119b - Beth - How Can A Young Man Keep His Way Pure?

Good Morning Today is 1.26.2011

Psalm 119:9-16
  ב Beth
⁹ How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
   By living according to your word.
¹⁰ I seek you with all my heart;
   do not let me stray from your commands.
¹¹ I have hidden your word in my heart
   that I might not sin against you.
¹² Praise be to you, LORD;
   teach me your decrees.
¹³ With my lips I recount
   all the laws that come from your mouth.
¹⁴ I rejoice in following your statutes
   as one rejoices in great riches.
¹⁵ I meditate on your precepts
   and consider your ways.
¹⁶ I delight in your decrees;
   I will not neglect your word.

Psalms 119:9-16

Psalm 119 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

To original corruption all have added actual sin. The ruin of the young is either living by no rule at all, or choosing false rules: let them walk by Scripture rules. To doubt of our own wisdom and strength, and to depend upon God, proves the purpose of holiness is sincere.

God's word is treasure worth laying up, and there is no laying it up safe but in our hearts, that we may oppose God's precepts to the dominion of sin, his promises to its allurements, and his threatening’s to its violence.

Let this be our plea with Him to teach us his statutes, that, being partakers of his holiness, we may also partake of his blessedness. And those whose hearts are fed with the bread of life, should with their lips feed many.

In the way of God's commandments there is the unsearchable riches of Christ. But we do not meditate on God's precepts to good purpose, unless our good thoughts produce good works.

I will not only think of thy statutes, but do them with delight. And it will be well to try the sincerity of our obedience by tracing the spring of it; the reality of our love by cheerfulness in appointed duties.

Psalm 119a-Aleph - Blessed Are They Whose Ways Are Blameless

Psalm 119:1-8

In preparation of this study of Psalm 119, I really had no Idea what I was in for till I meet up with the resistance. What a struggle. This must be one humdinger of a study we are going to have.

Every verse in Psalm 119 declares that God's laws are good.

Psalm 119:1-8

א Aleph

¹ Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
   who walk according to the law of the LORD.
² Blessed are those who keep his statutes
   and seek him with all their heart—
³ they do no wrong
   but follow his ways.
⁴ You have laid down precepts
   that are to be fully obeyed.
⁵ Oh, that my ways were steadfast
   in obeying your decrees!
⁶ Then I would not be put to shame
   when I consider all your commands.
⁷ I will praise you with an upright heart
   as I learn your righteous laws.
⁸ I will obey your decrees;
   do not utterly forsake me.

- Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

This psalm may be considered as the statement of a believer's experience. As far as our views, desires, and affections agree with what is here expressed, they come from the influences of the Holy Spirit, and no further.

The pardoning mercy of God in Christ, is the only source of a sinner's happiness. And those are most happy, who are preserved most free from the defilement of sin, who simply believe God's testimonies, and depend on his promises.

If the heart be divided between him and the world, it is evil. But the saints carefully avoid all sin; they are conscious of much evil that clogs them in the ways of God, but not of that wickedness which draws them out of those ways.

The tempter would make men think they are at them out of those ways.

The tempter would make men think they are at liberty to follow the word of God or not, as they please.

But the desire and prayer of a good man agree with the will and command of God.

If a man expects by obedience in one thing to purchase indulgence for disobedience in others, his hypocrisy will be detected; if he is not ashamed in this world, everlasting shame will be his portion.

The psalmist coveted to learn the laws of God, to give God the glory.

And believers see that if God forsakes them, the tempter will be too hard for them.
