158I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.

160Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
161Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

165Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
166Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.

Matthew Henry on Psalm 119:162
Here is, 1. The pleasure David took in the word of God. He rejoiced at it, rejoiced that God had made such a discovery of his mind, that Israel was blessed with that light when other nations sat in darkness, that he was himself let into the understanding of it and had had experience of the power of it.
