SCRIPTURE

"Then shall I not be put to shame, When I have respect unto all thy commandments." — Psalms 119:6 (ASV)

Have respect to. —Literally, look upon, or into, as in a mirror. (Compare to James 1:23.) The Divine Law is like a mirror, which shows man his defects; the faithful, in looking into it, have no cause to blush.

Judgments. —Not here in the common sense of visitations for sin, but rather one of the various synonyms for law. (See this use in Exodus 21:1; Exodus 24:3, and so on.)
