Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 119:39-40

_ _ Our hope of freedom from the reproach of inconsistency is in God’s power, quickening us to live according to His Word, which He leads us to love.

_ _ for thy judgments are good — The time must therefore be at hand when Thy justice will turn the “reproach” from Thy Church upon the world (Isaiah 25:8; Isaiah 66:5; Zephaniah 2:8-10).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Psalms 119:39

_ _ Here, 1. David prays against reproach, as before, Psalms 119:22. David was conscious to himself that he had done that which might give occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, which would blemish his own reputation and turn to the dishonour of his family; now he prays that God, who has all men's hearts and tongues in his hands, would be pleased to prevent this, to deliver him from all his transgressions, that he might not be the reproach of the foolish, which he feared (Psalms 39:8); or he means that reproach which his enemies unjustly loaded him with. Let their lying lips be put to silence. 2. He pleads the goodness of God's judgments: “Lord, thou sittest in the throne, and thy judgments are right and good, just and kind, to those that are wronged, and therefore to thee I appeal from the unjust and unkind censures of men.” It is a small thing to be judged of man's judgment, while he that judges us is the Lord. Or thus: “Thy word, and ways, and thy holy religion, are very good, but the reproaches cast on me will fall on them; therefore, Lord, turn them away; let not religion be wounded through my side.”

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 119:39

I fear — For my instability in thy ways; which in respect to my own weakness, I have great cause to fear.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
