Unless thy law had been my delights - See Psalms 119:16, note; Psalms 119:24, note. Unless I had had pleasure in thy law, thy word, thy truth; unless I had derived support and consolation in that. I should then have perished in mine affliction - I should have sunk under my burden. I should not have been able to hold up under the weight of sorrow and trial. How often the people of God can say. this! How often may each one in the course of his life say this! “I should have sunk a thousand times,” said a most excellent, but much afflicted, man to me, “if it had not been for one declaration in the word of God - ‘The Eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.’“ return to 'Top of Page'
