Psalms 119:38 - Exposition

Stablish thy Word unto thy servant ; or, "make good thy promise unto thy servant"—thy promise of aid and support in all times of temptation and difficulty. Who is devoted to thy fear ; rather, which belongeth unto thy fear . The antecedent to the relative is "word" or "promise," and not "servant;" and the prayer is that God will make good to his servant that promise, which lies at the root of all reverence and godly fear.
