Psalms 119:45-48 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

And I will walk at liberty Having then no such encumbrances upon me as I now have in these straits and difficulties which beset and burden me, I shall enjoy great freedom and comfort in thy ways, and will do my duty with cheerfulness and joy. I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings Who commonly entertain all godly discourses with scorn and contempt. I will delight myself, &c. Whereas other princes place their delight in the glories and vanities of this world, and the study and practice of religion are generally irksome and disagreeable to them, thy law shall be my chief delight and pleasure. My hands also will I lift up To receive and embrace thy precepts and promises, by faith and love, and cheerfully and vigorously to put them in practice.
