Psalms 119:121-124 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

AIN.

Psalms 119:121. I have done judgment and justice That is, just judgment, Ecclesiastes 5:7, namely, toward mine oppressors, whom I have no way injured. Be surety for thy servant for good For my safety and comfort. Do thou undertake and plead my cause against all my enemies, as a surety rescues the poor persecuted debtor from the hands of a severe creditor. Mine eyes fail, &c., for the word of thy righteousness For the performance of thy righteous, or faithful, or merciful word, or promise. Deal, &c., according to thy mercy Not according to strict justice, nor according to my sins.
