SCRIPTURE

"Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works." — Psalms 119:27 (ASV)

Make me to understand the way of your precepts
The meaning of them, to have a more comprehensive, clear, and distinct knowledge of them; and to be led into the way they direct unto, and walk therein;

so shall I talk of your wondrous works ;
the works of creation, providence, redemption, and grace; with more knowledge and understanding, with more spirit and cheerfulness, with more readiness and liberty, more to his own satisfaction, and for the good of others: or, "meditate on your wondrous works" F26 ; being in the ways of God, and freed from the distractions of the world and business of it.
