Psalms 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 ) .

Psalms 119:152 In-Context

150 As those out to get me come closer and closer, they go farther and farther from the truth you reveal;

151 But you're the closest of all to me, God, and all your judgments true.

152 I've known all along from the evidence of your words that you meant them to last forever.

153 Take a good look at my trouble, and help me - I haven't forgotten your revelation.

154 Take my side and get me out of this; give me back my life, just as you promised.
