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 Ceux qui ont de mauvais desseins s'approchent; ils se tiennent loin de ta loi.
151 Tu es proche, ô Éternel, et tous tes commandements sont la vérité.
152 Dès longtemps je sais par tes témoignages, que tu les as établis pour toujours.
153 Regarde mon affliction, et me délivre, car je n'ai pas oublié ta loi.
154 Défends ma cause et me rachète; fais-moi revivre selon ta parole!
