John Gill Commentary Psalms 119:15

"I will meditate on thy precepts, And have respect unto thy ways." — Psalms 119:15 (ASV)

I will meditate in your precepts
In his own mind; revolve them in his thoughts; consider well the nature, excellency, usefulness, and importance of them, and the obligations he lay under to observe them. The Targum is, "I will speak of your precepts;" in conversation to others, and recommend them to them; so the Arabic version:

and have respect unto your ways ;
or "look" ^F19 unto them; take heed unto them, and walk in them, and not wander from them; make them the rule of walk and conversation; as travellers look well to their ways, that they do not miss them, and go into wrong ways; they observe the directions that have been given them, and keep unto them; and so good men refer to the ways of the Lord, which the Scriptures point out unto them; see (Jeremiah 6:16) .
