Psalms 119:103,104 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

How sweet are thy words to my taste! Observe, reader, there is such a thing as a spiritual taste, an inward savour and relish of divine things; such an evidence of them to ourselves, by experience, as we cannot give to others. To this taste the word of God is sweet; yea, sweeter than any of the gratifications of sense, even those that are most delicious. David here speaks as if he wanted words to express the satisfaction he took in the discoveries of the divine will and grace: he judged no pleasure to be comparable to it. Through thy precepts I get understanding True, useful, and saving knowledge; therefore Because that discovers to me, as the wickedness, so the folly and mischief of such practices; I hate every false way Every thing which is contrary to that rule of truth and right, all false doctrine and worship, and all sinful courses.
