Psalms 119:87
_ _ consumed me upon earth — Hengstenberg translates, “in the land”; understanding “me” of the nation Israel, of which but a small remnant was left. But English Version is simpler; either, “They have consumed me so as to leave almost nothing of me on earth”; or, “They have almost destroyed and prostrated me on the earth” [Maurer].
_ _ I forsook not — Whatever else I am forsaken of, I forsake not Thy precepts, and so am not mistaken of Thee (Psalms 39:5, Psalms 39:13; 2 Corinthians 4:8, 2 Corinthians 4:9), and the injuries and insults of the wicked increase the need for it. But, however they act regardless of God’s law, the pious, adhering to its teaching, receive quickening grace, and are sustained steadfast. |
Psalms 119:87
They had almost consumed (f) me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
(f) Finding no help on earth, he lifts up his eyes to heaven. |
- almost:
1 Samuel 20:3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, [there is] but a step between me and death.
1 Samuel 23:26-27 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them. ... But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
2 Samuel 17:16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that [are] with him.
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

- but I forsook:
Psalms 119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have I not declined from thy law.
Psalms 119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law.
1 Samuel 24:6-7 And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he [is] the anointed of the LORD. ... So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on [his] way.
1 Samuel 26:9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?
1 Samuel 26:24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
