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.

136 I cry rivers of tears because nobody's living by your book!

137 You are right and you do right, God; your decisions are right on target.

138 You rightly instruct us in how to live ever faithful to you.

139 My rivals nearly did me in, they persistently ignored your commandments.
