Bible Comments

ZAIN.

Psalms 119:49. Remember the word That is, thy promises; upon which thou hast caused me to hope By thy command requiring it of me, and by thy grace working it in me. This Namely, thy word, as is evident both from the foregoing and following words; is my comfort in my affliction Being the ground of my confidence and hope. “A comfort divine, strong, lasting; a comfort that will not, like all others, fail us when we most want it, in the day of sickness, and at the hour of death, but will always keep pace with our necessities, increasing in proportion as the pleasures of the world and the flesh decrease, and then becoming complete, when they are no more. So powerful is the word of God to revive us when dead, either in sins or in sorrows!”
