Psalms 119:1 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

ALEPH.

(1) Undefiled. — Better, blameless or perfect.

Way. — See the same use without a qualifying epithet in Psalms 2:12. There was only-one way of safety and peace for an Israelite, here by the parallelism defined as “the law of Jehovah.” But even heathen ethics bore witness to the same truth: “Declinandum de viâ sit modo ne summa turpitudo sequatur” (Cic, De Amicitia, 17).

Psalms 119:1
