We must carefully treasure up the word of God, declare it to others, meditate on it, and heartily delight in it; and then by His grace we shall act according to it.

Clarke: Psa 119:16 - -- I will delight myself - The word is very emphatical: אשתעשע eshtaasha , I will skip about and jump for joy 14. He must exult in God’ s w...

I will delight myself - The word is very emphatical: אשתעשע eshtaasha , I will skip about and jump for joy

14. He must exult in God’ s word as his treasure, live in the spirit of obedience as his work, and ever glory in God, who has called him to such a state of salvation

15. He must never forget what God has done for him, done in him, and promised farther to do; and he must not forget the promises he had made, and the vows of the Lord that are upon him. Any young man who attends to these fifteen particulars will get his impure way cleansed; victory over his sin; and, if he abide faithful to the Lord that bought him, an eternal heaven at last among them that are sanctified

Defender: Psa 119:16 - -- This is the eighth (and last) verse of the psalmist's second stanza again emphasizing the "Word" (dabar). The same word is used in the first verse of ...

This is the eighth (and last) verse of the psalmist's second stanza again emphasizing the "Word" (dabar). The same word is used in the first verse of the succeeding stanza. The reason why each stanza has eight lines is becoming evident for the Word of God is not only the Scriptures but is also Christ Himself (Joh 1:1-3, Joh 1:14). "Eight" is the number after "seven," the number of completeness, so it always suggests a new beginning and is associated with Jesus Christ in His resurrection on the "eighth" day. It is noteworthy that there are eight combinations of His name found in the New Testament ("Lord," "Jesus," "Christ," "Lord Jesus," "Lord Jesus Christ," "Jesus Christ," "Christ Jesus," and "Lord Christ"). The gematria (numerical value of the Greek letters) in "Jesus" is 888 whereas that of the antichrist will be 666. The gematria of "Lord" is 800 and of "Christ" is "8 x 185." All combinations are multiples of "8.""

I will delight myself in thy statutes,.... In looking over them; in meditating on them; in obeying them, and walking according to them; as every good man does delight in the law of the Lord, after the inward man, Rom 7:22; see Psa 119:24;

I will not forget thy word: he took all proper methods to fix it in his memory; he laid it up in his mind; he meditated upon it in his heart, and he talked of it with his lips, Psa 119:11.
