Psalm 119:87

87 Casi me han consumido por tierra; mas yo no he dejado tus mandamientos

Psalm 119:87 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:87

They had almost consumed me upon earth
Almost destroyed his good name, wasted his substance, took away his crown and kingdom, and even his life; it was within a little of it, his soul had almost dwelt in silence; they had almost cast him down to the ground, and left him there. But all this was only on earth; they could not reach any thing that belonged to him in heaven; not his name, which was written there in the Lamb's book of life; nor his riches and inheritance there, the never fading crown of glory laid up for him there; or that eternal life, which is hid with Christ in God for him;

but I forsook not thy precepts;
did not decline the service and worship of God, nor neglect his word and ordinances, though thus persecuted, and all these things came upon him for the sake of religion; see ( Psalms 44:17 ) .
