Commentary on Psalms 119:80

Theological / Devotional

Sound. Heb. tamim, “complete,” “blameless” (see on v. 1). A blameless heart is more important than the high esteem of friends. “Completeness” of experience comes through a union with Christ, who supplies enabling power for obedience (Rom. 8:1–4). Only those whose hearts are purified from defilement will be able to stand in the trials of the last days. Outward profession will be of no avail without the inward possession of the Spirit of Christ.
