Psalms 119:137 Meaning and Commentary

(u) , TZADDI.--The Eighteenth Part.

Psalms 119:137

TZADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O Lord
Essentially, originally, and of himself; naturally, immutably, and universally, in all his ways and works of nature and grace; in his thoughts, purposes, counsels, and decrees; in all the dispensations of his providence; in redemption, in the justification of a sinner, in the pardon of sin, and in the gift of eternal life through Christ;

and upright [are] thy judgments;
they are according to the rules of justice and equity; the precepts of the word, the doctrines of the Gospel, as well as the judgments of God inflicted on wicked men, and all the providential dealings of God with his people, and also the final judgment.

Psalms 119:137 In-Context

135 Bless me with your presence and teach me your laws.
136 My tears pour down like a river, because people do not obey your law.
137 You are righteous, Lord, and your laws are just.
138 The rules that you have given are completely fair and right.
139 My anger burns in me like a fire, because my enemies disregard your commands.
