Princes also did sit (and) speak against me: (but) thy servant did meditate in thy statutes - (Psalms 119:161.) The shield of the Israel of God against the slanders of this world's great men is loving meditation in God's Word. Not only in private, but 'sitting' in deliberate "counsel" publicly (Psalms 1:1), the world-princes speak against God's people. But these are not thus to be deterred from going on in obedience to God's statutes, especially in the case of Jesus (Acts 4:5-7; Acts 4:25-27).
