Gill's Notes on the Bible
The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy,.... "Goodness" or "grace" o; both of the providential mercy and goodness of God, which extends to all his creatures; and of his special grace and goodness to his own people, held forth in his word and ordinances; see Psalms 33:5;
teach me thy statutes: as an instance of mercy, grace, and goodness; see Psalms 119:12.
o חסדך "gratia tua", Cocceius, Gejerus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy - Full of the proofs of thy goodness and compassion. See the notes at Psalms 33:5. This is the expression of a heart full of love to God and to his word. In such a state of mind as the psalmist was in, the goodness of God is seen everywhere. The best preparation for seeing evidence that God is good is a heart full of love. Then the proofs of that love spring up on every side - as when we truly love a friend we find constant proofs of his excellency of character.
Teach me thy statutes - I desire to see more and more of thy law. Thou art so gracious and merciful, the evidence of thy goodness is so widespread round about me, that it leads me to desire to see more and more of thyself and thy law.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 119:64. The earth is full of thy mercy — What an astonishing operation has the grace of God! In the midst of want, poverty, affliction, and bondage, it makes those who possess it happy! When Christ dwells in the heart by faith, we have nothing but goodness around us. Others may complain; but to us even the earth appears full of the mercy of the Lord.
ANALYSIS OF LETTER CHETH. - Eighth Division
In this part we have -
I. The assertion of the psalmist, that God was his portion; and his resolution upon it to keep God's law.
II. His prayer for grace to enable him to do it.
III. His profession of duty and a holy life.
IV. His concluding acclamation and prayer.
I. "Thou art my portion:" Let others choose as they please, thou art sufficient for me; I ask no more.
1. And on this I resolve to be thy obedient servant: "I have said, that I would keep thy words."
2. But thou knowest I am unable without thy grace to do this; therefore I must entreat thy favour: "Be merciful unto me." There are three helps to a godly life, all which we meet here, viz.: -
1. Determination. This makes a man begin well: "I have said."
2. Supplication. This makes a man continue well: "I entreated."
3. Consideration. This makes a man, when he errs, come back to the way again.
II. He was ready to co-operate with grace: "I have thought on my ways." If we be not workers with God, vain are our prayers. Two things are required of us: 1. Aversion from evil. 2. Conversion to good. Both must meet together.
1. Aversion from evil: "I thought on my ways." But he did not rest here.
2. Conversion to good: "I turned my feet unto thy testimonies."
III. And his sincerity is shown many ways: -
1. By his readiness and zeal: "I made haste, and delayed not."
2. By his courage and constancy. Though he was plundered, for his adherence to God, by the bands of the wicked, yet he did not forget God's law.
3. By his fervour about it. He was always employed in the work; and would rather take something from his natural rest, than not gratify his hunger and thirst after righteousness: "At midnight I will rise to give thanks."
4. By selecting his company. "He who walks with the lame will learn to limp:" therefore avoiding the society of the wicked, he seeks the company of them that fear the Lord and keep his precepts.
IV. He concludes with an acclamation and prayer.
1. "The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy." There is not a creature that is not a partaker of thy goodness; let me have my portion in it.
2. "Teach me thy statutes." That is, continue to instruct me. I need constant teaching, line upon line, and precept upon precept. Teach thou, and I will learn; and as I learn from thy teaching, I will practise by thy grace.
