Even authorities persecuted the psalmist without cause, yet his heart trembled at God's word. We live in a time when our society is increasingly anti-Christian, but we need to ensure that it is God's word that we fear. As Jesus said, we should fear Him who can destroy the soul, not those who can only destroy the body.
We need to rejoice all the more in God's word, for that is where true riches are found.
We need to shun and detest all falsehood, but find great delight in God's word. His word will give us peace and joy, and bring strength to us. Following God's precepts is to be our way.
This majestic psalm closes with David calling for God to give him understanding. The whole Psalm gives a picture of us seeking, longing for, and delighting in God's word, and God, in turn, proving that all His words and promises are true.
