For thy Law is my delight: He felt not this presently, but he meant, that when God should restore him to life, that he might not deceive himself, he should feel Gods mercy in his word: so that without Gods mercy in his word, he felt no comfort. Many will confess them to be miserable, if they have not Gods mercy; but few will with David acknowledge that without mercy in the word they are miserable. The word is the means to bring us to Gods mercy, therefore by the word we must esteem Gods mercies.
