| Rather, "This is peculiarly mine (literally, to me), that I keep Thy precepts" [HENGSTENBERG and MAURER]. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| This I had, because I kept thy precepts - literally, "This was to me;" that is, This has happened to me; this has occurred. This joyful remembrance of thy law in the night of affliction Psa 119:50; this stability and firmness on my part in keeping thy law when proud men have derided me Psa 119:51; this comfort which I have derived from meditating on thy statutes Psa 119:52; this solicitude for the welfare of others Psa 119:53; this peace which I have enjoyed in thy law in the house of my pilgrimage Psa 119:54; and this consolation which I have had in thee in the night-season Psa 119:55; - all this has been granted to me because I have kept thy statutes; because I have sought to be obedient - to serve time - to find my happiness in thee. These are the proper fruits and effects of keeping the law of God. Such peace does it impart; so much does it do to sustain and comfort the soul. |
