Psalms 119:6. Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
That is a wide expression, "respect unto all thy commandments." There are many men who are willing to keep a part of God’s commandments; but they must pick and choose for themselves which these shall be. Such are arrant traitors; there lurks in their heart a distinct rebellion against the Lord, for they do really presume to be the judge of God, by taking exception to this or that command in his law. In their great condescension, they are willing to be obedient in certain points, but not in all. Such men have need to be ashamed; but the psalmist could say, "Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments."
