Psalmen 119:173 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:173

Let thine hand help me
Let thine hand of power help me against mine enemies, and deliver me from them; and let thine hand of providence and grace communicate to me, and supply me with and help me to everything needful for me, for body and soul; for time and eternity, all grace here, and glory hereafter; let thy right hand help me on in my way, hold and uphold me, keep and preserve me safe to heaven and happiness;

for I have chosen thy precepts;
not only the good part, which shall not be taken away, and the way of truth, ( Psalms 119:30 ) ; but even the commandments of God, which he preferred to the commandments of men, and choose rather to obey the one than the other; having a most ardent affection for them, an high esteem of them, and a strong attachment to them; see ( Psalms 119:127 Psalms 119:128 ) .
