12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
12 I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds."
12 I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.
12 I'll ponder all the things you've accomplished, and give a long, loving look at your acts.
12 I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.
12 They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
15 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.
15 I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways.
15 I ponder every morsel of wisdom from you, I attentively watch how you've done it.
15 I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways.
15 I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways.
(Read Psalm 119:9-16)
To original corruption all have added actual sin. The ruin of the young is either living by no rule at all, or choosing false rules: let them walk by Scripture rules. To doubt of our own wisdom and strength, and to depend upon God, proves the purpose of holiness is sincere. God's word is treasure worth laying up, and there is no laying it up safe but in our hearts, that we may oppose God's precepts to the dominion of sin, his promises to its allurements, and his threatenings to its violence. Let this be our plea with Him to teach us his statutes, that, being partakers of his holiness, we may also partake of his blessedness. And those whose hearts are fed with the bread of life, should with their lips feed many. In the way of God's commandments there is the unsearchable riches of Christ. But we do not meditate on God's precepts to good purpose, unless our good thoughts produce good works. I will not only think of thy statutes, but do them with delight. And it will be well to try the sincerity of our obedience by tracing the spring of it; the reality of our love by cheerfulness in appointed duties.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 77:12
Commentary on Psalm 77:11-20
(Read Psalm 77:11-20)
The remembrance of the works of God, will be a powerful remedy against distrust of his promise and goodness; for he is God, and changes not. God's way is in the sanctuary. We are sure that God is holy in all his works. God's ways are like the deep waters, which cannot be fathomed; like the way of a ship, which cannot be tracked. God brought Israel out of Egypt. This was typical of the great redemption to be wrought out in the fulness of time, both by price and power. If we have harboured doubtful thoughts, we should, without delay, turn our minds to meditate on that God, who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, that with him, he might freely give us all things.
