Psaume 119:50 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:50

This [is] my comfort in my affliction
David had his afflictions, and so has every good man; none are without; it is the will and pleasure of God that so it should be; and many are their afflictions, inward and outward: the word of God is often their comfort under them, the written word, heard or read; and especially a word of promise, powerfully applied: this is putting underneath everlasting arms, and making their bed in sickness. This either respects what goes before, concerning the word of promise hoped in, or what follows: for thy word hath quickened me;
not only had been the means of quickening him when dead in am, as it often is the means of quickening dead sinners, being the savour of life unto life; but of reviving his drooping spirits, when in affliction and distress; and of quickening the graces of the Spirit of God in him, and him to the exercise of them, when they seemed ready to die; and to the fervent and diligent discharge of duty, when listless and backward to it.

48 J'élèverai mes mains vers tes commandements que j'aime, et je m'entretiendrai de tes statuts.

49 Souviens-toi de la parole donnée à ton serviteur, en laquelle tu m'as fait espérer.

50 C'est ici ma consolation dans mon affliction, que ta parole me rend la vie.

51 Des orgueilleux me couvrent de railleries; mais je ne m'écarte point de ta loi.

52 Je me rappelle tes jugements d'autrefois, ô Éternel, et je me console.
