Wesley's Notes

119:48 Lift up - To receive and embrace thy precepts and promises.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

48. My hands . lift up unto . commandments-that is, I will prayerfully (Ps 28:2) direct my heart to keep Thy commandments.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

119:41-48 Lord, I have by faith thy mercies in view; let me by prayer prevail to obtain them. And when the salvation of the saints is completed, it will plainly appear that it was not in vain to trust in God's word. We need to pray that we may never be afraid or ashamed to own God's truths and ways before men. And the psalmist resolves to keep God's law, in a constant course of obedience, without backsliding. The service of sin is slavery; the service of God is liberty. There is no full happiness, or perfect liberty, but in keeping God's law. We must never be ashamed or afraid to own our religion. The more delight we take in the service of God, the nearer we come to perfection. Not only consent to his law as good, but take pleasure in it as good for us. Let me put forth all the strength I have, to do it. Something of this mind of Christ is in every true disciple.


Psalm 119:15 I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways.
Psalm 119:97 O how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.
Psalm 119:127 Therefore I love Your commandments Above gold, yes, above fine gold. (NASB ©1995)
