43 Never take your word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my hope in your laws.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in your rules.
43 Don't ever deprive me of truth, not ever - your commandments are what I depend on.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I have hoped in Your ordinances.
43 Do not snatch your word of truth from me, for your regulations are my only hope.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 119:43
Commentary on Psalm 119:41-48
(Read Psalm 119:41-48)
Lord, I have by faith thy mercies in view; let me by prayer prevail to obtain them. And when the salvation of the saints is completed, it will plainly appear that it was not in vain to trust in God's word. We need to pray that we may never be afraid or ashamed to own God's truths and ways before men. And the psalmist resolves to keep God's law, in a constant course of obedience, without backsliding. The service of sin is slavery; the service of God is liberty. There is no full happiness, or perfect liberty, but in keeping God's law. We must never be ashamed or afraid to own our religion. The more delight we take in the service of God, the nearer we come to perfection. Not only consent to his law as good, but take pleasure in it as good for us. Let me put forth all the strength I have, to do it. Something of this mind of Christ is in every true disciple.
