诗篇 119:43-46 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 119:43-44

Here is, 1. David's humble petition for the tongue of the learned, that he might know how to speak a word in season for the glory of God: Take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth. He means, ?Lord, let the word of truth be always in my mouth; let me have the wisdom and courage which are necessary to enable me both to use my knowledge for the instruction of others, and, like the good householder, to bring out of my treasury things new and old, and to make profession of my faith... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 119:45-48

We may observe in these verses, 1. What David experienced of an affection to the law of God: ?I seek thy precepts, Ps. 119:45. I desire to know and do my duty, and consult thy word accordingly; I do all I can to understand what the will of the Lord is and to discover the intimations of his mind. I seek thy precepts, for I have loved them, Ps. 119:47, 48. I not only give consent to them as good, but take complacency in them as good for me.? All that love God love his government and therefore... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:43

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth ,.... The Scriptures, which are by divine inspiration, come from the God of truth, contain nothing but truth in them, and are called "the Scriptures of truth", Daniel 10:21 . Or the Gospel, which is often so called, Ephesians 1:13 ; This comes from God, who cannot lie, and is a declaration of his mind and will concerning the salvation of men; in which Christ, who is the truth, is concerned, being the author, preacher, and substance... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:44

So shall I keep thy law continually ,.... Which denotes not the perfection of keeping the law, but the constancy of it: the psalmist was persuaded, that so long as he had the word of truth in his mouth, and the judgments of God in his view, he should be diligent and constant in the discharge of his duty, which these directed and encouraged him unto; for ever and ever ; in this life and that to come; when the law of God will be kept, and his will done perfectly by the saints, as it now is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:45

And I will walk at liberty ,.... Not in licentious way, but in Gospel liberty, under the influence of the free spirit; where is liberty, in the exercise of grace and discharge of duty. Or, "I will walk at large" F7 ברחבה "in latitudine", Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version, &c.; ; or, "in a broad way", as Aben Ezra and Kimchi supply it: not in the broad road that leads to destruction, but in the law of God, which is exceeding broad, Psalm 119:96 ; as the Targum, "in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:46

I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings ,.... As very likely he did before Saul and his courtiers, before the king of Achish and the princes of the Philistines, when as yet he was not a king himself; and when he was come to the throne, such kings as came to visit him, instead of talking with them about affairs of state, he spoke of the Scriptures, and of the excellent things they bear witness of; and such a practice he determined to pursue and continue in; and will not be... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:43

Take not the word of truth - Grant that the assurances which thy prophets have given to the people of approaching deliverance may not fall to the ground; let it appear that they have spoken thy mind, and that thou hast fulfilled their word. read more

I will walk at liberty - When freed from the present bondage, we shall rejoice in obedience to thy testimonies; we shall delight to keep all thy ordinances. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:46

I will speak - before kings - Dr. Delaney supposes that this is spoken in reference to Achish, king of Gath, whom David had instructed in the Jewish religion; but we have already seen that it is most likely that the Psalm was compiled under the Babylonish captivity. But the words may with more propriety be referred to the case of Daniel, and other bold and faithful Israelites, who spoke courageously before Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Darius. See the books of Daniel, Ezra, and Nehemiah. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:43

Verse 43 43.Take not the word of truth too long out of my mouth (414) It may be asked, why he demands rather to have his tongue filled with, than his heart fortified by, the word of truth; inasmuch as the latter takes the precedence, both in point of order and of excellence. What will it profit us to be fluent and eloquent in speech, if our hearts are destitute of faith? On the other hand, wherever there is firm faith, there to speech will flow ultroneously. My reply is, that David was not so... read more
