Salmos 119:3-4 NTV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 119:1-3

The psalmist here shows that godly people are happy people; they are, and shall be, blessed indeed. Felicity is the thing we all pretend to aim at and pursue. He does not say here wherein it consists; it is enough for us to know what we must do and be that we may attain to it, and that we are here told. All men would be happy, but few take the right way; God has here laid before us the right way, which we may be sure will end in happiness, though it be strait and narrow. Blessednesses are to... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 119:4-6

We are here taught, 1. To own ourselves under the highest obligations to walk in God's law. The tempter would possess men with an opinion that they are at their liberty whether they will make the word of God their rule or no, that, though it may be good, yet it is not so necessary as they are made to believe it is. He taught our first parents to question the command: Hath God said, You shall not eat? And therefore we are concerned to be well established in this (Ps. 119:4): Thou hast commanded... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:3

They also do no iniquity ,.... Not that they are free from indwelling sin, nor from the acts of sin, nor that what they do are not sins; but they do not make a trade of sinning, it is not the course of their lives; nor do they do iniquity with that ease and pleasure, without reluctance and remorse, as others do: or rather as new creatures, as born again, they do not and cannot commit sin; for the new man is pure, spiritual, and holy; and nothing can come out of that, or be done by it, which... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 119:4

Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. Here, and in the following verses, the psalmist expresses his great regard to the precepts, commandments, statutes, and judgments of God; and that as such, because they were commanded by him; were not the precepts of men, but the commands of God; who had a right to command, as Creator, Preserver, Redeemer, and King; and whose commands are not to be reckoned as indifferent things, that are at the option and choice of a creature, to be... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:3

They also do no iniquity - They avoid all idolatry, injustice, and wrong; and they walk in God's ways, not in those ways to which an evil heart might entice them, nor those in which the thoughtless and the profligate tread. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:4

Thy precepts diligently - מאד meod , "superlatively, to the uttermost." God has never given a commandment, the observance of which he knew to be impossible. And to whatsoever he has commanded he requires obedience; and his grace is sufficient for us. We must not trifle with God. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:3

Verse 3 3.Surely they do not work iniquity The statement, that they who follow God as their guide do not work iniquity, may seem to be a mere common-place, and universally admitted truth. The prophet has two reasons for making it; first, to teach us that our life must be entirely under the direction of God; and, secondly, that we may more diligently and carefully attend to his doctrine. It is acknowledged by every one, that those who render obedience to God are in no danger of going astray, and... read more

Whole-hearted service of God. I. THE DESCRIPTION GIVEN OF SUCH AS RENDER IT . 1. They are undefiled in the way . They are not merely in the way, but keep themselves undefiled. How difficult this! 2.

They seek him with the whole heart . This sadly rare. The mass... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 119:1-24

The blessedness of obedience. The first two verses of the psalm leave no mistake as to the nature of true obedience; it includes: 1. Integrity of heart . Sincerity, being "undefiled," seeking the favor and entering the service of God "with the whole heart" ( Psalms 119:10 ), with a spirit in which "is no guile." 2. Consistency of conduct . "Walking in the Law," "keeping his commandments;" it is" he that doeth righteousness that is righteous" (John). 3. Patient... read more

1. TORAH , "the Law" itself; but not merely the Law given on Mount Sinai; rather, God's law in the widest sense, all whereby he has intimated his will to man. 2.
