Psalms 119:116 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Uphold me according to thy word Or hold me up, as he says in the next verse, seeing himself to be not only unable to go on in his duty, by his own strength, but in danger of falling into sin, unless he were prevented by divine grace; that I may live May be preserved in spiritual life, and retain my title to eternal life. And let me not be ashamed of my hope Or confidence in thy promises; of the certainty of which I have often made my boast before others.

Psalms 119:116

116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
