Matthew Henry's Commentary

Psalms 119:95

_ _ Here, 1. David complains of the malice of his enemies: The wicked (and none but such would be enemies to so good a man) have waited for me to destroy me. They were very cruel, and aimed at no less than his destruction; they were very crafty, and sought all opportunities to do him a mischief; and they were confident (they expected, so some read it), that they should destroy him; they thought themselves sure of their prey. 2. He comforts himself in the word of God as his protection: “While they are contriving my destruction, I consider thy testimonies, which secure to me my salvation.” God's testimonies are then likely to be our support, when we consider them, and dwell in our thoughts upon them.
