Verse 144. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting, grant me understanding, and I shall live.
Verse 144. The righteousnes of thy testimonies is euerlasting, graunt mee vnderstanding, and I shall liue.
IN repeating the same again, which he had said before, the man of God here useth two words, the righteousness of thy testimonies: whereas before he useth this one word: thy righteousness: so that he meaneth here nothing else, but the righteousness of God revealed to us in his word. For they be called testimonies, both in respect that they be records of Gods love towards us, as also they are testimonials of our obedience towards God. So the words may bear this sense: true it is Lord, that that part of thy word, where in thou hast comforted us with thy promises, is everlasting; and that part of thy word, wherein thou hast set down our duties, is also everlasting.
IN repeating the same againe, which hee had saide before, the man of God here vseth two words, the righteousnes of thy testimonies: whereas before he vseth this one word: thy righteousnes: so that he meaneth here nothing els, but the righteousnes of God reuealed to vs in his word. For they bee called testimonies, both in respect that they bee records of Gods loue towards vs, as also they are testimonials of our obedience towards God. So the words may beare this sense: true it is Lord, that that part of thy word, where in thou hast comforted vs with thy promises, is euerlasting; and that part of thy word, wherein thou hast set downe our duties, is also euerlasting.
