I have not turned
The phrase "I have not turned" reflects a steadfast commitment and unwavering dedication to the path laid out by God. In the Hebrew text, the word used here is "sartiy," which conveys the idea of turning aside or deviating from a path. This word choice emphasizes the psalmist's determination to remain faithful and not be swayed by external influences or internal doubts. Historically, the Israelites often struggled with turning away from God's commandments, as seen throughout the Old Testament. The psalmist's declaration serves as a personal testimony of faithfulness, encouraging believers to remain resolute in their spiritual journey.

from Your ordinances
The term "ordinances" refers to God's laws and decrees, which are meant to guide the moral and spiritual conduct of His people. In Hebrew, the word "mishpatim" is used, which can also be translated as judgments or decisions. This highlights the divine wisdom and justice inherent in God's commands. The psalmist's commitment to not turning from these ordinances underscores the importance of adhering to divine guidance as a source of life and blessing. In a historical context, the ordinances were central to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, serving as a foundation for their identity and community life.

for You Yourself have taught me
This phrase emphasizes the personal and intimate nature of the psalmist's relationship with God. The Hebrew word "limmadta" indicates teaching or instruction, suggesting a process of learning directly from the Lord. This personal tutelage implies that the psalmist's understanding and adherence to God's ordinances are not merely academic or ritualistic but are rooted in a deep, experiential knowledge of God. The phrase "You Yourself" highlights the direct involvement of God in the psalmist's spiritual education, reinforcing the idea that true wisdom and understanding come from a relationship with the Divine Teacher. This personal instruction is a source of strength and confidence for the believer, affirming that God is actively involved in guiding His people.

Verse 102. - I have not departed from thy judgments (comp. vers. 30, 31, 51, 157, 168, etc.). For thou hast taught me. Thy teaching, thy guidance, thy help, have kept me straight.
