Psalms 119:41-48 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

V A U.

The Reader will not need information that Jesus is Jehovah's salvation unto the ends of the earth; Isaiah 49:6. And the answers of Jesus to those that reproached him, are fully set forth in the gospel; Psalms 69:7-9. Christ is not only the law-fulfiller; but the law of God was in his very heart; Psalms 40:8. And as Jesus hath made his people free, they are free indeed; John 8:36. What a memorable testimony was that of Jesus before Pontius Pilate, when he witnessed a good confession! 1 Timothy 6:13. It is very blessed to behold the Lord Jesus in all those leadings in the exercise and path of duty. While we see Jesus delighting himself in his Father's law, fulfilling and obeying every tittle of it in our nature, for us and for our salvation; with what holy confidence may we come before the throne, and seek acceptance in him the beloved! Hence the whole church is represented as crying out, with uplifted hands, to Jehovah, Behold, O God, our shield! and look upon the face of thine anointed, Psalms 84:9.

Psalms 119:41-48

41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.

42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

45 And I will walk at liberty:e for I seek thy precepts.

46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
