Psalms 119:149,150 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

O Lord, quicken me Stir me up to love and serve thee, and make me vigorous, lively, and cheerful in thy work; according to thy judgment According to thy word, which is often called God's judgment; or, according to thy manner of dealing with thy people. They draw nigh To me. They are at hand, and ready to seize upon me; that follow after mischief Or rather, as רדפי זמה may, perhaps, be more properly rendered, that pursue me with malicious subtlety. They are far from thy law They cast away from them all thoughts of, and respect to, thy law, which forbids such wicked practices.

Psalms 119:149-150

149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.

150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
