Psalms 119:128 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:128

Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all
[things to be] right
He had an impartial regard to all the commandments of God; and valued one as well as another, and walked according to all of them; making no difference either in his affection or practice between one and another, as being more or less necessary, just, and right: he had an equal respect to the lighter and weightier matters of the law; and, like Zacharias and Elisabeth, walked in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless; looking upon them all, with respect to everything commanded or forbidden by them, to be just and equitable;

[and] I hate every false way;
every command, institution, and ordinance of men, which are opposed to the will of God; every false way of worship, all superstition and idolatry; every false doctrine whatsoever is contrary to the testimonies and word of God: and indeed where there is a true love of the word, worship, and ordinances of God, there must be an hatred of these.

Psalms 119:128 In-Context

126 It's time to act, God; they've made a shambles of your revelation!
127 Yea-Saying God, I love what you command, I love it better than gold and gemstones;
128 Yea-Saying God, I honor everything you tell me, I despise every deceitful detour.
129 Every word you give me is a miracle word - how could I help but obey?
130 Break open your words, let the light shine out, let ordinary people see the meaning.
