II. As a law, “All Thy precepts.” As a law--
1. It is to be righteous--“Concerning all things, to be righteous.
2. It is to be practical, “I hate every false way.”
III. As a revelation. As a revelation it is--
1. Wonderful, “Thy testimonies are wonderful.”
2. Spiritually enlightening. “The entrance of Thy Word giveth light.” It lights up the soul.
IV. As a necessity (verse 131). It is the air without which you cannot breathe, food without which you cannot live. (Homilist.)
