SCRIPTURE

"I have sworn, and have confirmed it, That I will observe thy righteous ordinances." — Psalms 119:106 (ASV)

I have sworn, and I will perform [it]
Or, "I have performed it" F8 . The psalmist had not only taken up a resolution in his mind, but he had openly declared with his mouth, and professed in a solemn manner, that he would serve the Lord; he had sworn allegiance to him as his King, and, through divine grace, had hitherto kept it; and hoped he ever should, and determined through grace he ever would; see (Psalms 119:48) (Isaiah 45:25) ;


that I will keep your righteous judgments ;
the precepts of the word, the ordinances of the Lord, the doctrines of grace; all which are righteous, and to be kept, observed, and held to; though they cannot be perfectly kept unless in Christ the surety.
