Psalms 119:97
Mem. (Psalm 119:97-104).
_ _ This characteristic love for God’s law (compare Psalms 1:2) ensures increase. |
Psalms 119:97
_ _ Here is, 1. David's inexpressible love to the word of God: O how love I thy law! He protests his affection to the word of God with a holy vehemency; he found that love to it in his heart which, considering the corruption of his nature and the temptations of the world, he could not but wonder at, and at that grace which had wrought it in him. He not only loved the promises, but loved the law, and delighted in it after the inner man. 2. An unexceptionable evidence of this. What we love we love to think of; by this it appeared that David loved the word of God that it was his meditation. He not only read the book of the law, but digested what he read in his thoughts, and was delivered into it as into a mould: it was his meditation not only in the night, when he was silent and solitary, and had nothing else to do, but in the day, when he was full of business and company; nay, and all the day; some good thoughts were interwoven with his common thoughts, so full was he of the word of God. |
Psalms 119:97
MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation (a) all the day.
(a) He shows that we cannot love God's word unless we exercise ourselves in it and practise it. |
