Psalms 119:140 - John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Bible Comments

Thy word is very pure,.... Or, "exceedingly purified" w: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times, Psalms 12:6; free from, all drossy matter; from any mixtures, or the corruptions and doctrines of men; and which tends and leads to purity of heart and life;

therefore thy servant loveth it; that which carnal men hate the word of God for, because it forbids and condemns all impurity of flesh and spirit, all impure thoughts, words, and actions; that a good man loves it for, and which is an evidence of a sanctified heart.
