Psalm 119:8 I will keep your statutes: O forsake me not utterly. It is a great help to godliness to resolve that we will live godly; for that which is not, concluded, how shall it be performed? Or what hope is there we should attain to the end — that is, to the perfection of piety — when we are careless of the beginnings thereof, which are purposes, intentions, and resolutions that we will be godly? Where, when of weakness we fail in following forth our resolution, it shall be well done again to renew it; for, by often renewing of our resolution to do any good, we become the stronger to accomplish it. (Bp. Cowper.) Parallel Verses KJV: I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.WEB: I will observe your statutes. Don't utterly forsake me. BET |
