• {v.76-77} While submitting to God’s faithful dealings, he can, in the midst of affliction, count upon God’s merciful kindness to comfort him, and in His tender mercy to spare him. He can thus plead with conscious integrity, for God’s law is his delight. Time was when he went astray, and sought his own will; now he delights in God’s will. (“Psalm 119:81-88: Division 10 (Jod)” by H. Smith)
• But the feeling that the chastening comes from God, though it gives submission, gives the desire of His favor, when the submission is complete. Still one desires relief; but a subdued heart, while naturally desiring relief, yet seeks divine favor in it, and comfort from God, not in self-will. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:73-120” by J.N. Darby)
