Psaume 119:123 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:123

Mine eyes fail for that salvation
For temporal salvation or deliverance from oppressors; and for spiritual salvation, for views of an interest in it, the joys and comforts of it; and for the Messiah, the author of it; whom he was looking wistfully for, but, not coming so soon as expected, his eyes were tired and weary, and ready to fail, and his heart to faint; (See Gill on Psalms 119:81);

and for the word of thy righteousness;
for the word of promise, which the righteousness or faithfulness of God was engaged to perform; or for the law of God, the rule of righteousness, and which shows what righteousness God requires; and for the bringing in of that righteousness of the Messiah, which could answer its demands; or for the Gospel, and more clear administration of it, which is called the word of righteousness, ( Hebrews 5:13 ) ; in which the righteousness of God is revealed; the righteousness which Christ, who is God as well as man, has wrought out; and which his Father has approved of, accepted, and imputes to his people, and justifies them with; and which word also teaches men to live soberly, righteously, and godly.

Psaume 119:123 In-Context

121 J'observe la loi et la justice: Ne m'abandonne pas à mes oppresseurs!

122 Prends sous ta garantie le bien de ton serviteur, Ne me laisse pas opprimer par des orgueilleux!

123 Mes yeux languissent après ton salut, Et après la promesse de ta justice.

124 Agis envers ton serviteur selon ta bonté, Et enseigne-moi tes statuts!

125 Je suis ton serviteur: donne-moi l'intelligence, Pour que je connaisse tes préceptes!
