Psalms 119:165 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Great peace have they which love thy law - (Proverbs 3:2; Proverbs 3:17; Isaiah 32:17). However the waves of trouble beat on them from without like a sea-washed lighthouse, all is "peace" within (Isaiah 26:3). They take all that God does with them in good part, having peace in Him (Christ) (John 16:33).

And nothing shall offend them - Hebrew, 'they shall have no stumblingblock.' 1 John 2:10, "There is none occasion of stumbling in him" (who "abides in the light," which makes him to see and avoid such stumblingblocks). Wealth, tribulation, temptations, which are the occasion to many of falling (Isaiah 8:14-15; Ezekiel 3:20; Ezekiel 7:19; Ezekiel 14:3-4; Ezekiel 14:7), are not so to him.
