Psalms 119:39 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

My reproach which I fear. — The word for fear is an unusual one, used in Deuteronomy 9:19; Deuteronomy 28:60, for very strong dread. The reproach may be either the disgrace in God’s sight of violating His commands, or, as the context (Psalms 119:42) suggests, a reproach from men for keeping God’s law.

Psalms 119:39

39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
