124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
124 Deal with your servant according to your love and teach me your decrees.
124 Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love, and teach me your statutes.
124 Let your love dictate how you deal with me; teach me from your textbook on life.
124 Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, And teach me Your statutes.
124 I am your servant; deal with me in unfailing love, and teach me your decrees.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 119:124
Commentary on Psalm 119:121-128
(Read Psalm 119:121-128)
Happy is the man, who, acting upon gospel principles, does justice to all around. Christ our Surety, having paid our debt and ransom, secures all the blessings of salvation to every true believer. The psalmist expects the word of God's righteousness, and no other salvation than what is secured by that word, which cannot fall to the ground. We deserve no favour form God; we are most easy when we cast ourselves upon God's mercy, and refer ourselves to it. If any man resolve to do God's will as his servant, he shall be made to know his testimonies. We must do what we can for the support of religion, and, after all, must beg of God to take the work into his own hands. It is hypocrisy to say we love God's commandments more than our worldly interests. The way of sin is a false way, being directly contrary to God's precepts, which are right: those that love and esteem God's law, hate sin, and will not be reconciled to it.
