Psalms 119:104 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:104

Through thy precepts I get understanding
Of the will of God; of his worship, the nature and manner of it; of his ordinances, their use and importance; and of his doctrines, and the excellency of them;

therefore I hate every false way;
of worship; all superstition and will worship, the commandments and inventions of men, and every false doctrine; all lies in hypocrisy, for no lie is of the truth; every thing that is contrary to the word of God, and is not according to truth and godliness. The Targum is,

``I hate every lying man.''

Psalms 119:104 In-Context

102 I haven't walked away from your laws, because you yourself are my teacher.
103 Your promises are sweet to me, sweeter than honey in my mouth!
104 Your orders give me understanding, so I hate lying ways.
105 Your word is like a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.
106 I will do what I have promised and obey your fair laws.
