John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

This psalm pursues two chief ends: to exhort God's children toward a holy life, and to establish the Law as the rule and form of true worship. The psalmist weaves in promises to animate believers to live justly, and complaints against the wicked who despise the Law, lest the faithful be corrupted by their example. Though he moves from one matter to another, the composition is not a heap of scattered thoughts, but holds together by a living connection.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

Religion must be a chosen thing, deliberate and settled, not drifted into by habit. The way of truth is the only safe way, and once you have chosen it, you must keep God's word before your eyes like a craftsman keeps his pattern, constantly, practically, ruling every step. The choosing Christian is the steady Christian; those who stumble into faith will stumble out of it when the wind turns.

John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

The Lord teaches us not merely to know His statutes but to walk in them, and to keep them unto the end of our lives without turning aside. The end of the commandment is charity, which fulfills it all, though Christ alone perfectly fulfills the law for righteousness; sinful man cannot keep it to perfection.
