Commentary on Psalms 119:51

Theological / Devotional

Proud. Heb. zedim, “insolent,” “presumptuous.” These godless souls scorned and ridiculed the psalmist for his belief in God, but he refused to swerve from obedience to the law of God. The wicked delight in mocking the righteous, but the mockery, far from disheartening, should serve to strengthen the resolve of the righteous to follow God’s commandments.
