Psalms 119:49-56
(49) ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
(50) This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
(51) The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
(52) I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
(53) Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
(54) Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
(55) I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
(56) This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
119:49–56. These verses deal with the comfort of the Word. They begin by seeking the main consolation, namely the Lord’s fulfillment of his promise, and then show how the Word sustains us under affliction and makes us so impervious to ridicule that we are moved by the harsh conduct of the wicked rather to horror of their sin than to any submission to their temptations. We are then shown how the Scripture furnishes songs for pilgrims, and memories for nightwatchers; and the psalm concludes by the general statement that the whole of this happiness and comfort arises out of keeping the statutes of the Lord.
