Psalms 119:17,18 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

GIMEL.

Psalms 119:17. Deal bountifully with thy servant I plead no merit, but only thy free grace and rich mercy; that I may live Safely and comfortably; and keep thy word For I do not desire life that I may satisfy my own lusts, but that I may spend it in thy service. Open thou mine eyes Enlighten my mind by thy Holy Spirit, and dispel all ignorance and error. That I may behold wondrous things out of thy law Those great and marvellous depths of divine wisdom and goodness, and those profound mysteries of Christ, and of God's grace to mankind, and that everlasting state, which are not to be known but by divine illumination.
