Psalms 119:65
TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
119:65. This is the summary of his life, and assuredly it is the sum of ours. The psalmist must speak his gratitude in the presence of Jehovah, his God. From the universal goodness of God in nature, in verse 64, it is an easy and pleasant step to a confession of the Lord’s uniform goodness to ourselves personally. It is something that God has dealt at all with such undeserving beings as we are, and it is far more that he has dealt well with us, and so wondrously well. He promised to do so, and he has done it according to his Word. It is very precious to see the Word of the Lord fulfilled in our happy experience; it endears the Scripture to us, and makes us love the Lord of the Scripture. Our unbelief is repented of now that we see the mercy of the Lord to us, and his faithfulness to his Word; henceforth we are bound to display a firmer faith both in God and in his promise. It is to a very unworthy and incapable servant that he has acted thus blessedly; does not this cause us to delight in his service more and more? We lose ourselves in adoring thanksgiving, and find ourselves again in careful thanks-living.
