Psalms 119:95

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 119:95. The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: -

"They have lain in ambush, they have waited to catch me tripping, to ruin my character if possible, so what shall I do, - Counterplot them? No. Watch them night and day? No. ‘The wicked have waited for me to destroy me:’" -

Psalms 119:95. But I will consider thy testimonies.

There is something that seems to me calmly defiant about the psalmist’s resolve. He does not say, "The wicked are waiting to destroy me, but I will fight them." No, but he says, "I shall read my Bible, and I shall follow its directions. I shall act in obedience to my God, and in that way I shall baffle them." To be obedient to God is the surest way to be victorious over wicked men. Keep thou God’s Word, and God will guard thy head in the day of danger.
