Psalms 119:96 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I have seen an end of all perfection; I have observed by my experience that the greatest and most perfect accomplishments and enjoyments in this world, the greatest glory, and riches, and power, and wisdom, are too narrow and shortlived to make men happy. Thy commandment; thy word; one part of it being synecdochically put for the whole. Broad, or large, both for extent and for continuance; it is useful to all persons in all times and conditions, and for all purposes, to inform, direct, quicken, comfort, sanctify, and save men; it is of everlasting truth and efficacy; it will never deceive nor forsake those who trust to it, as all worldly things will, but will make men happy both here and for ever.

Psalms 119:96

96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
