I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart.
Ver. 8. I delight to do thy will, O my God] To Christ it was his meat and drink, John 4:34, he set his face to do it, and to suffer it, Luke 9:51; yea, he was straitened, pained, till it was done, Luke 12:50. And the same mind is also in the saints that was in Christ Jesus, Philippians 2:5. They delight in the law of God after the inward man, Romans 7:22, they prefer it before their necessary food, Job 23:12 .
Yea, thy law is within my heart] Heb. in the midst of my bowels; there is the counterpane, the duplicate of the law written, yea, printed, Jeremiah 31:33 2 Corinthians 3:3. Rip up my heart (said Queen Mary) when I am dead, and there shall you find Calais, the loss whereof (it is thought) killed her. Rip up the most men's hearts, and there you shall find written, The god of this present world. But God's law is in good men's hearts, to live and to die with it: O beata Apocalypsis (said that martyr, catching up that revelation cast into the same fire with him to be burnt), O blessed revelation, how happy am I to be burned with thee in my hands!
