诗篇 119:92-95 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 119:92

Here is, 1. The great distress that David was in. He was in affliction, and ready to perish in his affliction, not likely to die, so much as likely to despair; he was ready to give up all for gone, and to look upon himself as cut off from God's sight; he therefore admires the goodness of God to him, that he had not perished, that he kept the possession of his own soul, and was not driven out of his wits by his troubles, but especially that he was enabled to keep close to his God and was not... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 119:93

Here is, 1. A very good resolution: ?I will never forget thy precepts, but will always retain a remembrance of and regard to thy word as my rule.? It is a resolution for perpetuity, never to be altered. Note, The best evidence of our love to the word of God is never to forget it. We must resolve that we will never, at any time, cast off our religion, and never, upon any occasion, lay aside our religion, but that we will be constant to it and persevere in it. 2. A very good reason for it: ?For... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 119:94

Here, 1. David claims relation to God: ?I am thine, devoted to thee and owned by thee, thine in covenant.? He does not say, Thou art mine (as Dr. Manton observes), though that follows of course, because that were a higher challenge; but, I am thine, expressing himself in a more humble and dutiful way of resignation; nor does he say, I am thus, but, I am thine, not pleading his own good property or qualification, but God's propriety in him: ?I am thine, not my own, not the world?s.? 2. He... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 119:95

Here, 1. David complains of the malice of his enemies: The wicked (and none but such would be enemies to so good a man) have waited for me to destroy me. They were very cruel, and aimed at no less than his destruction; they were very crafty, and sought all opportunities to do him a mischief; and they were confident (they expected, so some read it), that they should destroy him; they thought themselves sure of their prey. 2. He comforts himself in the word of God as his protection: ?While they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:92

Unless thy law had been my delights ,.... Not the law of works, the voice of words, which they that heard entreated they might hear no more; which is terrible, and works wrath in the conscience; is a cursing and damning law to the transgressors of it; and so not delightful, unless as considered in the hands of Christ, the fulfilling end of it: but the law of faith, the doctrine of faith, or of justification by the righteousness of Christ, received by faith, which yields peace, joy, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:93

I will never forget thy precepts ,.... Not the precepts of the moral law, though he carefully observed and attended to them, laid them up in his mind, and did not forget to keep them; but the doctrines of the word, of the word which the Lord commanded to a thousand generations; these he endeavoured to remember, and not let them slip from him, since it follows: for with them thou hast quickened me : not with the precepts of the moral law, which cannot give life, quicken a dead sinner, nor... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:94

I am thine, save me ,.... From all troubles and afflictions; from all enemies, temporal and spiritual; from Satan, and his principalities and powers, from sin, and all the wretched consequences of it; from hell wrath, and damnations: salvation from all which is by Christ. And this is a prayer of faith with respect to him, founded upon his interest and property in him; whose he was by choice, by covenant, by gift, by purchase, and by grace: and this is a plea for salvation; thou hast an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:95

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me ,.... This is another reason why he desires the Lord would save him; because wicked men, such who feared not God, nor regarded men, sons of Belial; such as Saul's courtiers and the conspirators with Absalom were, had laid wait and were waiting an opportunity, and were hoping and expecting to have one, that they might take away his life; destroy him out of the world, as Kimchi; or eternally, as Aben Ezra thinks; by endeavouring to draw him out of... read more
