I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. The same Hebrew х mª'od (H3966)] as is translated "diligently" in Psalms 119:4, 'Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts wholly:' I wish to keep them wholly: in order that I may do so, do thou 'forsake me not wholly.' The believer may seem almost forsaken; but he is never wholly forsaken (Psalms 37:24; Psalms 37:28).
