Psaume 119:71 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:71

[It is] good for me that I have been afflicted
The good and profit of which he had observed before; (See Gill on Psalms 119:67). The following end being also answered thereby,

that I might learn thy statutes;
to understand them, and to keep them. Afflictions are sometimes as a school to the people of God, in which they learn much both of their duty and of their privileges; and when they are teaching and instructive, they are for good; see ( Psalms 94:12 ) .

Psaume 119:71 In-Context

69 Des orgueilleux imaginent contre moi des faussetés; Moi, je garde de tout mon coeur tes ordonnances.

70 Leur coeur est insensible comme la graisse; Moi, je fais mes délices de ta loi.

71 Il m'est bon d'être humilié, Afin que j'apprenne tes statuts.

72 Mieux vaut pour moi la loi de ta bouche Que mille objets d'or et d'argent.

73 Tes mains m'ont créé, elles m'ont formé; Donne-moi l'intelligence, pour que j'apprenne tes commandements!
