SCRIPTURE

"I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me." — Psalms 119:93 (ASV)

I will never forget your precepts - Your laws; your truth. I will bear them in mind forever. To all eternity they will be the object of my meditation.

For with them you have quickened me - By them you have given me life, spiritual life. Compare the notes at James 1:18.

This is stated as a reason why he would never allow the truth of God to pass out of his mind. By that truth he had been made really to live. He had been brought from spiritual death to spiritual life. He saw before him now, as the result of that, an endless career of blessedness. How could he ever forget what had worked such a change in his character and condition; which had inspired such hopes; which had opened before him such an immortal career of glory!
