詩篇 119:30-32 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 119:30-32

Observe, I. That those who will make anything to purpose of their religion must first make it their serious and deliberate choice; so David did: I have chosen the way of truth. Note, 1. The way of serious godliness is the way of truth; the principles it is founded on are principles of eternal truth, and it is the only true way to happiness. 2. We must choose to walk in this way, not because we know no other way, but because we know no better; nay we know no other safe and good way. Let us... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:30

I have chosen the way of truth ,.... Christ, who is the way and the truth, the true way to God and to eternal happiness; and to choose him is to choose the good part, which shall never be taken away; and which choice is made, not by the free will of man, as left to itself, but under the influence and by the direction of the Spirit and grace of God; whereby a soul sees a preferableness in Christ to every thing else, and which determines the choice of him: or, "the way of faith", as the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:31

I have stuck unto thy testimonies ,.... The word of God, the Scriptures of truth, and the doctrines contained in them. These he closely adhered to, was glued unto them as it were; having firmly believed them, he steadfastly professed them; nor could he be moved from them by any temptations whatever, notwithstanding the reproach cast upon them and him for their sake, or the opposition made unto them; O Lord, put me not to shame : or let me not be ashamed of the choice I have made, of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:32

I will run the way of thy commandments ,.... Not only walk but run in it; which is expressive of great affection to the commands of God, of great readiness and cheerfulness, of great haste and swiftness in the way of them, and of great delight and pleasure therein; when thou shall enlarge my heart ; with the knowledge of God, his word, ways, worship, and ordinances; with his love more fully made known, and with an increase of love to him; with the fear of him, and a flow of spiritual joy... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:31

I have stuck - דבקתי dabakti , I have cleaved to, been glued to, them: the same word as in Psalm 119:25 . My soul cleaves as much to thy testimonies, as my life has cleaved to the dust. O Lord, put me not to shame - Let my sins and follies be blotted out by thy mercy; and so hide and cover them that they shall never appear, either in this or the coming world, to my shame and confusion! How many need to be importunate with God in this prayer! read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:32

I will run - The particle elci כי , which we translate when, should be translated because: Because thou shalt enlarge, or dilate, my heart; make plain my path by cleansing me from my impurity, and taking the hinderances out of my way. I will then run without dread of stumbling, and every day make sensible progress. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:30

Verse 30 30.I have chosen the way of truth. In this and the following verse he affirms that he was so disposed as to desire nothing more than to follow righteousness and truth. It is, therefore, with great propriety he employs the term to choose. The old adage, that man’s life is as it were at the point where two ways meet, refers not simply to the general tenor of human life, but to every particular action of it. For no sooner do we undertake any thing, no matter how small, than we are... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:32

Verse 32 32I will run the way of thy commandments. The meaning of the prophet is, that when God shall inspire him with love for his la he will be vigorous and ready, nay, even steady, so as not to faint in the middle of his course. His words contain an implied admission of the supineness inability of men to make any advancement in well-doing until God enlarge their hearts. No sooner does God expand their hearts, than they are fitted not only for walking, but also for running in the way of his... read more
