Psalms 119:1
1. undefiled—literally, "complete," perfect, or sincere (compare Ps 37:37).
in—or, "of" the way—course of life. walk—act in the law—according to it (compare Lu 1:6). law—from a word meaning "to teach," is a term of rather general purport, denoting the instruction of God's Word. Psalms 119:55
52-56. The pious take comfort, when harassed and distressed by wickedness of men who forsake God's law, in remembering that the great principles of God's truth will still abide; and also God's
judgments of old—that is, His past interpositions in behalf of His people are a pledge that He will again interpose to deliver them; and they become the theme of constant and delightful meditation. The more we keep the more we love the law of God. Psalms 119:97
97. This characteristic love for God's law (compare Ps 1:2) ensures increase.
