The Sweetness of His Words
Commentators explain that the phrase 'His mouth is most sweet' refers primarily to the beauty of his speech. For the Christian, this points to the sweetness of Christ's words—the doctrines of the Gospel, His precious promises, and His loving invitations. As John Gill notes, His voice is charming and alluring because it speaks of love, grace, mercy, and salvation.
