Psalms 119:47 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:47

And I will delight myself in thy commandments
In perusing and practising them;

which I have loved;
a good man loves the law of God, and the commandments of Christ, and delights in them after the inward man.

Psalms 119:47 In-Context

45 And I'll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom;
46 Then I'll tell the world what I find, speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed.
47 I cherish your commandments - oh, how I love them! -
48 relishing every fragment of your counsel.
49 Remember what you said to me, your servant - I hang on to these words for dear life!
