Psalms 119:110-176
wicked <07563> [wicked.]
wander <08582> [yet I erred.]
rules <05715> [Thy testimonies.]
joy <08342> [for they.]
determined <05186> [inclined.]
obey <06213> [perform. Heb. do. the end.]
hate <08130> [hate.]
divided loyalties <05588> [vain thoughts.]
Or, "divided thoughts," {saiÆ’phim,} or, as Gesenius renders, {bie Bneybeutigen (in ber Religion)} "ambiguities (or indecisions) in Religion;" Luther, {Flattergeister,} "inconstant fellows;" LXX. [paranomoi,] "transgressors," Vulgate {iniqui,} "iniquitous," and Jerome, {tumultuosos,} "tumultuous."
law <08451> [thy law.]
hiding <05643> [my hiding.]
shield <04043> [my shield.]

despise <05541> [trodden.]
stray <07686> [err.]

When Thou triest them in the refining fire, they are burnt up, fly off in fumes, or in {scori‘,} which Thou sweepest away.

insight <0995> [give.]
understand <03045> [that I.]
time <06256> [time.]
<06213> [to work.]
That is, "to take vengeance," as {Æ’sah} signifies, Jer 18:23; Mal 3:17, by an ellipsis of the noun. When infidels, profligates, and Pharisees, "make void the law of God," generally, then it is time for God to arise to vindicate His own honour and maintain His cause among men.
break <06565> [they.]
love <0157> [I love.]
precepts <06490> [I esteem.]
<03474> [all things.]
{Kol,} "all" seems to have been omitted by all the versions, except the Chaldee; which reads simply, "all thy precepts;" and this renders the text more perspicuous and unembarrassed.
hate <08130> [and I.]
rules <05715> [testimonies.]
<05315> [doth.]
doorway <06608> [entrance.]
Or, "opening;" {paithach:} the Scriptures give satisfactory light to the mind upon every subject of which they treat; and speedily communicate more useful knowledge to the simplest believer, upon the most important topics, than the acutest philosophers have been able to develop through successive ages.

just <06664> [righteous. Heb. righteousness. faithful. Heb. faithfulness.]
zeal <07068> [zeal.]
consumes ..... enemies <06789 06862> [consumed me. or, cut me off. because.]
word <0565> [Thy word.]
Gold has need to be refined; but thy word is purity itself, reflecting the holiness of Jehovah's character and government, and requiring and leading to purity of heart and life.
pure <06884> [pure. Heb. tried, or refined.]
insignificant <06810> [small.]
forget <07911> [yet do.]
<06666> [Thy righteousness.]
Men, as Bp. Horne observes, may decree wickedness by a law; or they may change their decrees, and with them what is right to-day may be wrong to-morrow; but the law of God is righteousness, and it is truth, to-day and for ever.
endures <05769> [an everlasting.]

That is, I anticipated, or rose before, the morning dawn; and was before hand with the light itself.
hope <03176> [hoped.]
eyes <05869> [eyes.]
nighttime hours <0821> [the night watches.]
The ancient Jews divided the night into three watches of four hours each, beginning at six o'clock in the evening; before the last of which, "the day break," or "morning watch," as the LXX. and Vulgate read, the Psalmist was awake.
Listen <08085> [Hear.]

hate <08130> [hate.]
Seven <07651> [Seven times.]
That is, probably many times, or frequently, as the term seven frequently denotes; but Rabbi Solomon says that this is to be understood literally; for they praised God twice in the morning before reading the decalogue, and once after; twice in the evening before the same reading, and twice after; making in the whole seven times.
just <06664> [because.]
completely <07227> [Great.]
