Psalms 119:22-24 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Remove from me reproach Which I suffer, and that unjustly, for thy sake; for I have kept thy testimonies And therefore I am innocent of those things for which they censure and reproach me: or, and therefore thou wilt maintain mine honour and interest, according to thy promise made to such as keep thy testimonies. Princes also did sit and speak, &c. Did continually speak against me; for sitting denotes continuance. When they sat upon their seats of judicature, or sat together in companies, they entertained one another with discourses to my prejudice. But thy servant did meditate, &c. All their contumelies and reproaches did not discourage, nor divert me from the study, belief, and practice of thy word. Thy testimonies also are my delight My chief comfort under all their censures and persecutions; and my counsellors To teach me how to conduct myself under them.
