Psaume 119:31 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:31

I have stuck unto thy testimonies
The word of God, the Scriptures of truth, and the doctrines contained in them. These he closely adhered to, was glued unto them as it were; having firmly believed them, he steadfastly professed them; nor could he be moved from them by any temptations whatever, notwithstanding the reproach cast upon them and him for their sake, or the opposition made unto them;

O Lord, put me not to shame:
or let me not be ashamed of the choice I have made, of the testimonies I adhere unto, of my hope and confidence in the Lord and his word; or suffer me not to do anything, any sinful action, that may expose me to shame and contempt.

Psaume 119:31 In-Context

29 Éloigne de moi la voie du mensonge, et accorde-moi la grâce d'observer ta loi.
30 J'ai choisi la voie de la vérité; j'ai mis tes jugements devant mes yeux.
31 Je me suis attaché à tes témoignages; Éternel, ne me rends pas confus!
32 Je courrai dans la voie de tes commandements, quand tu auras mis mon cœur au large.
33 Éternel, enseigne-moi la voie de tes statuts, et je la garderai jusqu'à la fin.
