Psalms 119:128 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way.

Ver. 128. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right] "Therefore," from the same ground again as before, by a holy antiperistasis.

I esteem, &c.] Rectificavi, I have declared them to be right in every part and point, against those that wrangle and wrest them to a wrong sense. I esteem every parcel of truth precious, and am an utter enemy to every heterodoxy. The many "alls" in this verse used (not unlike that in Eze 44:30) showeth the integrity and universality of his obedience. "All" is but a little word, but of large extent.

I hate every false way] Whether in point of opinion or practice; all sinful deviations and prevarications. Hatred is ever against the whole kind of a thing, saith Aristotle (Rhet. lib. 2.)
