Psalms 119:8. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
Strong resolution, but a deep consciousness of weakness and unworthiness. "I will," but oh’.. how can I do it?
"Oh! for this no strength have I
My strength is at thy feet to lie.
Oh! forsake me not utterly."
Now, in the next eight verses it seems to me that the subject is some what different. We have seen the excellence of an undefiled way. Now we have before us one who wants to prove the power of the Word to keep him in that undefiled way; and so he begins with this question.
