Psalms 119:10

“In God will I praise [his] word, etc.] These words are repeated from (<195604>Psalm 56:4); and for the greater certainty of the thing, and to show his fixed resolution to do it, and his strong affection for the Lord and his word, they are doubled; in the Lord will I praise [his] word: in the former clause the word “Elohim” is made use of, which, the Jews say, denotes the property of justice, and in the latter Jehovah, which with them is the property of mercy; and accordingly the Targum paraphrases the words, “in the attribute of the justice of God will I praise his word; in the attribute of the mercies of Jehovah will I praise his word;” and to the same sense Jarchi: that is, whether I am in…”

This is the language of a heart where there is a consciousness of its weakness, and its liability to err, strong as may be its purpose…”

“119:10 The student asks God the teacher to discipline him so that he will not wander.”
