| Geneva Study Bible Great peace have they which {c} love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. (c) For their conscience assures them that they please you, whereas they who do not love you have the contrary. Wesley's Notes 119:165 Offend - Heb. they shall have no stumbling - block, at which they shall stumble and fall into mischief. King James Translators' Notes nothing...: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 165. nothing shall offend them-or, "cause them to offend" (compare Margin). Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 119:161-168 Those whose hearts stand in awe of God's word, will rather endure the wrath of man, than break the law of God. By the word of God we are unspeakable gainers. Every man hates to have a lie told him, but we should more hate telling a lie; by the latter we give an affront to God. The more we see the beauty of truth, the more we shall see the hateful deformity of a lie. We are to praise God even for afflictions; through grace we get good from them. Those that love the world have great vexation, for it does not answer what they expect; those that love God's word have great peace, for it outdoes what they expect. Those in whom this holy love reigns, will not perplex themselves with needless scruples, or take offence at their brethren. A good hope of salvation will engage the heart in doing the commandments. And our love to the word of God must subdue our lusts, and root out carnal affections: we must make heart work of it, or we make nothing of it. We must keep the commandments of God by obedience to them, and his promises by reliance on them. God's eye is on us at all times; this should make us very careful to keep his commandments. |
