Psalms 119:67 - Exposition

Before I was afflicted I went astray . "Sweet are the uses of adversity." The psalmist feels end confesses that the afflictions, which he has suffered (see comment on Psalms 119:65 ), have been good for him. They have made him less apt to "go astray" than he was (comp. Psalms 119:71 ). But now have I kept thy Word (comp. Psalms 119:51 , Psalms 119:56 , Psalms 119:87 , etc.).
