Commentary on Psalms 119:19

Theological / Devotional

Stranger. Heb. ger, “sojourner,” one who stays temporarily at a place without full civic rights. Our stay here on earth is only temporary; heaven is our home (see Heb. 11:13, 14).

Hide not thy commandments. Being in an alien land, the psalmist needs a chart to guide him. This he finds in God’s commandments.
