And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth - take not from me, by withholding thy saving deliverance ("salvation," Psalms 119:41), the ability to give a true " answer" (Psalms 119:42) to "him that reproacheth me." The word of truth, or the true answer to the enemy, is to be able by facts to show that God keeps His promise of helping His children in distress. 'Not merely do not take it out of my heart, but not even out of my mouth: grant that what I truly believe I may freely also confess' (Rivetus).
For I have hoped in thy judgments - I have rested my hope in thee, amidst my trials, that thou wilt by thy judgments vindicate my cause, as thou hast ever done to them who trust in thee.
