Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 119:30

"I have chosen the way of faithfulness: Thine ordinances have I set [before me]." — Psalms 119:30 (ASV)

I have chosen the way of truth - Among all the paths of life I have selected this. I prefer this. I desire to walk in this. Religion is, wherever it exists, a matter of preference or choice; and the friend of God prefers his service to the service of the world.

Thy judgments - Your statutes; your laws.

Have I laid before me - I have set them before my mind as the guide of my conduct; I have made their observance the end and aim of my life.
