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 deviated from any of your rules because you are the one who has taught me.
103 Your word is so pleasing to my taste buds— it's sweeter than honey in my mouth!
104 I'm studying your precepts— that's why I hate every false path.
105 Your word is a lamp before my feet and a light for my journey.
106 I have sworn, and I fully mean it: I will keep your righteous rules.
