Psalms 119:159 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.

Consider how I love thy precepts. Translate (the Hebrew being the same as in Psalms 119:158), 'Behold how I love thy precepts,' as is evinced in that when 'I beheld the transgressors I was grieved.' He begs to God to behold this, not as meritorious of grace, but as a distinctive mark of a godly man. He casts himself on the mere grace of God in the next clause.

Quicken me, O Lord, according to thy loving-kindness - (Psalms 119:88.)
