60 I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.
60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
60 I hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments.
60 I was up at once, didn't drag my feet, was quick to follow your orders.
60 I made haste, and did not delay To keep Your commandments.
60 I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 119:60
Commentary on Psalm 119:57-64
(Read Psalm 119:57-64)
True believers take the Lord for the portion of their inheritance, and nothing less will satisfy them. The psalmist prayed with his whole heart, knowing how to value the blessing he prayed for: he desired the mercy promised, and depended on the promise for it. He turned from by-paths, and returned to God's testimonies. He delayed not. It behoves sinners to hasten to escape; and the believer will be equally in haste to glorify God. No care or grief should take away God's word out of our minds, or hinder the comfort it bestows. There is no situation on earth in which a believer has not cause to be thankful. Let us feel ashamed that others are more willing to keep from sleep to spend the time in sinful pleasures, than we are to praise God. And we should be more earnest in prayer, that our hearts may be filled with his mercy, grace, and peace.
