Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thy word is very pure,.... Or, "exceedingly purified" w: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times, Psalms 12:6; free from, all drossy matter; from any mixtures, or the corruptions and doctrines of men; and which tends and leads to purity of heart and life;

therefore thy servant loveth it; that which carnal men hate the word of God for, because it forbids and condemns all impurity of flesh and spirit, all impure thoughts, words, and actions; that a good man loves it for, and which is an evidence of a sanctified heart.

w צרופה מאד "purificatum valde", Montanus; "liquatum, vel expurgatum valde", Gejerus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thy word is very pure - Margin, “tried or refined.” See the word explained in the notes at Psalms 18:30.

Therefore thy servant loveth it - Therefore I love it. I love it because it is pure, holy, true; not merely because it will save me. Apart from all reference to myself. I love thy truth as truth; I love purity as purity; I love law as law; I love holiness as holiness. This is true religion.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 119:140. Thy word is very pure — צרופה tseruphah, it is purification. It is not a purified thing, but a thing that purifies. "Now ye are clean," said Christ, "by the word I have spoken unto you." God's word is a fire to purify as well as a hammer to break.
