Commentaries on Psalms 119:52
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 52I remembered thy judgments of old - The word judgments is here taken for providential dealing; and indeed kind treatment; that which God showed to the Hebrews in bearing with and blessing them.

The more we keep the more we love the law of God.Read the comment
