Psaume 119:152 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:152

Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old
Or, "from thy testimonies, I have known of old" F4: by carefully reading the Scriptures which testify of God, his mind an will, and frequently meditating on them, he had learned a long time ago, even from his youth, what follows,

that thou hast founded them for ever;
that the things contained in them are sure and certain, established and eternal truths; the moral law and the precepts of it are eternal, and of perpetual obligation; not one jot or tittle of them shall ever fail; the Gospel, and the truths of it, are everlasting, and shall ever remain; in spite of all the opposition, craft and cunning, fury and force of men, to undermine and root them out; see ( Psalms 119:89 ) .

Psaume 119:152 In-Context

150 Ils s'approchent, ceux qui poursuivent le crime, Ils s'éloignent de la loi.
151 Tu es proche, ô Eternel! Et tous tes commandements sont la vérité.
152 Dès longtemps je sais par tes préceptes Que tu les as établis pour toujours.
153 Vois ma misère, et délivre-moi! Car je n'oublie point ta loi.
154 Défends ma cause, et rachète-moi; Rends-moi la vie selon ta promesse!
