‏ Psalms 119:1

     1. undefiled—literally, "complete," perfect, or sincere (compare Ps 37:37).

      in—or, "of"

      the way—course of life.

      walk—act

      in the law—according to it (compare Lu 1:6).

      law—from a word meaning "to teach," is a term of rather general purport, denoting the instruction of God's Word.

‏ Psalms 119:55

     52-56. The pious take comfort, when harassed and distressed by wickedness of men who forsake God's law, in remembering that the great principles of God's truth will still abide; and also God's

      judgments of old—that is, His past interpositions in behalf of His people are a pledge that He will again interpose to deliver them; and they become the theme of constant and delightful meditation. The more we keep the more we love the law of God.

‏ Psalms 119:97

     97. This characteristic love for God's law (compare Ps 1:2) ensures increase.
