Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| To freedom from reproach, when imbued with God's truth, there is added "great boldness in the faith" [Ti1 3:13], accompanied with increasing delight in the holy law itself, which becomes an element of happiness. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And I will walk at liberty - Margin, "at large." Luther renders it, "freely." The Septuagint, "in a broad place." The Hebrew word means "wide, broad, large, spacious." The reference is to that which is free and open; that in which there are no limits, checks, restraints; where a man does what he pleases. The meaning here is, that he would feel he was free. He would not be restrained by evil passions and corrupt desires. He would be delivered from those things which seemed to fetter his goings. This does not here refer so much to external troubles or hindrances, to being oppressed and straitened by external foes, as to internal enemies - to the servitude of sin - to the slavery of appetite and passion. Compare the notes at Rom 7:9-14. See also Job 36:16; Psa 118:5. The margin well expresses the sense of the passage.
For I seek thy precepts - I seek or endeavor to obey them. I seek them as the guide of my life. I ask nothing else to direct me. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| At liberty - Enjoy great freedom and comfort in thy ways. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| I will walk at liberty - When freed from the present bondage, we shall rejoice in obedience to thy testimonies; we shall delight to keep all thy ordinances. |
13 For [1063] they that have used the office of a deacon [1247] well [2573] purchase [4046] to themselves [1438] a good [2570] degree [898], and [2532] great [4183] boldness [3954] in [1722] the faith [4102] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424].
5 I called [07121] upon the LORD [03050] in distress [04712]: the LORD [03050] answered [06030] me, and set me in a large place [04800].
16 Even so would he have removed [05496] thee out of the strait [06310] [06862] into a broad place [07338], where [08478] there is no straitness [04164]; and that which should be set [05183] on thy table [07979] should be full [04390] of fatness [01880].
9 For [1161] I [1473] was alive [2198] without [5565] the law [3551] once [4218]: but [1161] when the commandment [1785] came [2064], sin [266] revived [326], and [1161] I [1473] died [599].
10 And [2532] the commandment [1785], which [3588] was ordained to [1519] life [2222], I [3427] found [2147] [3778] to be unto [1519] death [2288].
11 For [1063] sin [266], taking [2983] occasion [874] by [1223] the commandment [1785], deceived [1818] me [3165], and [2532] by [1223] it [846] slew [615] me.
12 Wherefore [5620] [3303] the law [3551] is holy [40], and [2532] the commandment [1785] holy [40], and [2532] just [1342], and [2532] good [18].
13 Was then [3767] that which is good [18] made [1096] death [2288] unto me [1698]? God forbid [3361] [1096]. But [235] sin [266], that [2443] it might appear [5316] sin [266], working [2716] death [2288] in me [3427] by [1223] that which is good [18]; that [2443] sin [266] by [1223] the commandment [1785] might become [1096] exceeding [2596] [5236] sinful [268].
14 For [1063] we know [1492] that [3754] the law [3551] is [2076] spiritual [4152]: but [1161] I [1473] am [1510] carnal [4559], sold [4097] under [5259] sin [266].
