Bible Comments

With my whole heart have I sought thee Deny me not that aid of thy grace which I have so sincerely and earnestly desired and laboured to obtain. O let me not wander Hebrew, אל תשׁגני, do not make me to wander, namely, by leading me into temptation, or by withdrawing thy grace, which is necessary to keep me from wandering. Thy word have I hid in my heart I have not contented myself with merely hearing or reading thy word, but have received it in the love of it, have diligently considered it, and have laid it up in my mind, like a choice treasure, to be ready upon all occasions to counsel, quicken, or caution me, as need may require. That I might not sin against thee That by a diligent and affectionate consideration of thy precepts, promises, and threatenings, I might be kept from all sinful practices.
