Tehillim 119:102

102 I have not departed from Thy mishpatim: for Thou hast taught me.

Tehillim 119:102 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:102

I have not departed from thy judgments
From the precepts of the word, from the ways and worship and ordinances of God; he had not wickedly and on purpose departed from them; whenever he did, it was through inadvertency, the weakness of the flesh, and strength of temptation; nor from the doctrines of the word, which he held fast, knowing of whom he had learned them, as follows:

for thou hast taught me;
the nature, excellency, and use of these judgments; he had taught him, by his Spirit, experimentally to understand the doctrines of the word, and practically to observe the precepts of it; and this preserved him from an apostasy from either of them.

Tehillim 119:102 In-Context

100 I understand more than the zekenim, for I keep Thy pikkudim.
101 I have refrained my feet from every orakh rah, in order that I might be shomer over Thy Devar.
102 I have not departed from Thy mishpatim: for Thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are Thy words unto my palate! Sweeter than devash to my mouth!
104 Through Thy pikkudim I get understanding: therefore I hate every orakh sheker. Nun
