2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
2 but his delight is in the law
2 Instead you thrill to God's Word, you chew on Scripture day and night.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.
2 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.
15 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy 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 1:2
Commentary on Psalm 1:1-3
(Read Psalm 1:1-3)
To meditate in God's word, is to discourse with ourselves concerning the great things contained in it, with close application of mind and fixedness of thought. We must have constant regard to the word of God, as the rule of our actions, and the spring of our comforts; and have it in our thoughts night and day. For this purpose no time is amiss.
