The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 119:1-176

Human Pilgrimage Psa 119:19 This is true of every human being. The term "stranger" has, however, various degrees of intensity. Take, for example, the child on the occasion of his first leaving home. He is a stranger among his schoolfellows; but, with the characteristic simplicity and confidence of early life, he soon becomes contented and happy in his new associations. This is the lowest degree of intensity attaching to the term "stranger." Look at the young man leaving home with a view of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 119:89-96

LAMED. Here is a beautiful address to Jehovah, in contemplation of his own eternal nature, the everlasting purposes and unchangeableness of his councils, and all his ordinances, providences, and dispensations, as purposed in Jesus, the uncreated Word, before the world began! And in the contemplation of these, the great Surety of sinners may be supposed as here speaking, that unless the faithfulness of Jehovah had sustained him, he must have perished in the vast undertaking. Never can the people... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 119:97-104

MEM. Reader! let us listen to these sweet words, as the words of Jesus. Let us beg of God the Holy Ghost to give us grace to feel and know our interest in what he here saith, from our interest in him. And let us look up to God our Father, while we hear Jesus thus expressing, in our nature, his love to the law of the Father, his regard to all his commandments, and his uniform, undeviating rectitude in all he came to perform, and plead in his name and righteousness for every covenant blessing... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 119:105-112

NUN. I pass over several very interesting observations which might be offered on the verses in this portion, (for there is not a part of them but is well calculated to make our meditation sweet); but I pass them over to call the Reader's attention, and my own, to that very precious thought, contained in these expressions, as considered with reference to Jesus: Accept, I beseech thee, the free-will offering of my mouth. I beg that I may be clearly understood on this grand point. According to my... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 119:113-120

SAMECH. After the observations which have been proposed upon the foregoing portions of this most blessed Psalm, the Reader will not be surprised, neither, I hope, offended, if I go on to accept this portion also as having respect to the person of Jesus, first speaking himself, and then as the proper devout sentiments of all his people; for without considering our relation to him, sure I am, the sentiments can never suit the minds of a fallen race, like the sons and daughters of Adam. Hate vain... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 119:89-176

89-96 The settling of God's word in heaven, is opposed to the changes and revolutions of the earth. And the engagements of God's covenant are established more firmly than the earth itself. All the creatures answer the ends of their creation: shall man, who alone is endued with reason, be the only unprofitable burden of the earth? We may make the Bible a pleasant companion at any time. But the word, without the grace of God, would not quicken us. See the best help for bad memories, namely, good... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 119:89-96

Lamed. The Imperishable Nature of the Divine Word. v. 89. Forever, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in heaven; like the essence of God, out of which it flowed, it is unchangeable and will endure throughout eternity. Cf Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33. v. 90. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations, remains the same from one generation to the next, absolutely trustworthy: Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth, standing as long as God's will so ordains. v. 91. They continue this day... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 119:97-104

Mem. God's Word the Essence of True Wisdom. v. 97. Oh, how love I Thy Law! the entire instruction in God's holy Word, as the revelation of His holy will. It is my meditation all the day; the longer he ponders upon it, the dearer it becomes to him. v. 98. Thou through Thy commandments, by which He directed the entire conduct of His servant, hast made me wiser than mine enemies, who believed themselves to be people of superior intelligence in possessing a large measure of this world's... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 119:113-120

Samech. The Need of a Firm Stand for the Truth of God's Word. v. 113. I hate vain thoughts, literally, "wavering ones I hate," that is, those who are divided between two beliefs, those who waver in their loyalty, not knowing whether to turn to God or to false gods; but Thy Law do I love. People who are irresolute in their belief are, in away, more dangerous than out-and-out enemies of the truth; for their unionistic attitude is apt to influence such as are weak in faith. The best plan,... read more
