Psalms 119:108

_ _ freewill offerings — the spontaneous expressions of his gratitude, as contrasted with the appointed “offerings” of the temple (Hosea 14:2; Hebrews 13:15). He determines to pursue this way, relying on God’s quickening power (Psalms 119:50) in affliction, and a gracious acceptance of his “spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise” (Psalms 50:5, Psalms 50:14, Psalms 50:23).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Psalms 119:108

_ _ Two things we are here taught to pray for, in reference to our religious performances: — 1. Acceptance of them. This we must aim at in all we do in religion, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of the Lord. What David here earnestly prays for the acceptance of are the free-will-offerings, not of his purse, but of his mouth, his prayers and praises. The calves of our lips (Hosea 14:2), the fruit of our lips (Hebrews 13:15), these are the spiritual offerings which all Christians, as spiritual priests, must offer to God; and they must be free-will-offerings, for we must offer them abundantly and cheerfully, and it is this willing mind that is accepted. The more there is of freeness and willingness in the service of God the more pleasing it is to him. 2. Assistance in them: Teach me thy judgments. We cannot offer any thing to God which we have reason to think he will accept of, but what he is pleased to instruct us in the doing of; and we must be as earnest for the grace of God in us as for the favour of God towards us.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 119:108

Offerings — The sacrifices of prayer and praise.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Accept, I beseech thee, the (c) freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
