Psalms 119:16
I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.
BSB
ASV
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. ג GIMEL.
KJV
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
I will delight myself - The word is very emphatical: אשתעשע eshtaasha, I will skip about and jump for joy. 14. He must exult in God’s word as his treasure, live in the spirit of obedience as his work, and ever glory in God, who has called him to such a state of salvation. 15. He must never forget what God has done for him, done in him, and promised farther to do; and he must not forget the promises he had made, and the vows of the Lord that are upon him. Any young man who attends to these fifteen particulars will get his impure way cleansed; victory over his sin; and, if he abide faithful to the Lord that bought him, an eternal heaven at last among them that are sanctified.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
