Psa 119:84, 90, 121-122, 132 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 84. How many are the days of thy servants ] Dost thou not know that I have few to live, and they are full of trouble? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? ] Shall not the pride of the Chaldeans be brought down, the arm of their strength broken, and thy people delivered? In this verse there is none of the ten words used in reference to God's law.

‏ Psalms 119:84

Verse 84. How many are the days of thy servants] Dost thou not know that I have few to live, and they are full of trouble?

When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?] Shall not the pride of the Chaldeans be brought down, the arm of their strength broken, and thy people delivered? In this verse there is none of the ten words used in reference to God's law.

‏ Psalms 119:90

Verse 90. Thy faithfulness] That which binds thee to accomplish the promise made. And this shall be, not for an age merely, but from generation to generation; for thy promises refer to the whole duration of time.

Thou hast established the earth] Thou hast given it its appointed place in the system, and there it abideth.

‏ Psalms 119:121-122

LETTER AIN.-Sixteenth Division

Verse 121. I have done judgment and justice] I have given the best decision possible on every case that came before me; and I have endeavoured to render to all their due.

Verse 122. Be surety for thy servant] arob, give a pledge or token that thou wilt help me in times of necessity. Or, Be bail for thy servant. What a word is this! Pledge thyself for me, that thou wilt produce me safely at the judgment of the great day. Then sustain and keep me blameless till the coming of Christ. Neither of these two verses has any of the ten words in reference to God's law or attributes. The judgment and the justice refer to the psalmist's own conduct in Ps 119:121. The hundred and twenty-second has no word of the kind.

‏ Psalms 119:132

Verse 132. As thou usest to do] Treat me as thy mercy has induced thee to treat others in my circumstances. Deal with me as thou dealest with thy friends.
