Gill's Notes on the Bible
How sweet are thy words unto my taste!.... Who had a spiritual one; and could discern perverse things, and could taste how good and gracious the Lord is: and so his words were sweet unto him; the doctrines of grace, the truths of the Gospel, were delightful and pleasant to him; like unadulterated milk, desirable by him: like good wine, that goes down sweetly; like good food, that is exceeding palatable; or like honey, and even sweeter than that, as follows. And that words "may be tasted [and] eaten", is not only agreeable to Scripture language, Jeremiah 15:16; but to classical writers g;
[yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth; not only had they the nourishing nature and the refreshing virtue of honey, but the sweetness of it; yea, exceeded it in sweetness; see Psalms 19:10.
g "Mea dicta devorato", Plauti Asinaria, Act. 3. Sc. 3. v. 59. "Edi sermonem tuum", ib. Aulularia, Act. 3. Sc. 6. v. 1. "Gustare ego ejus sermonem volo", ib. Mostellaria, Act. 5. Sc. 1. v. 15.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
How sweet are thy words unto my taste ... - Margin, as in Hebrew, âpalate.â The reference is to the taste, perhaps because the sense of taste was supposed to reside in the palate. The Hebrew word âmayâ include also the whole of the inside of the mouth. The word rendered âsweetâ does not occur elsewhere. It properly means âto be smooth,â and hence, is applied to kind or agreeable words. On the sentiment here, see the notes at Psalms 19:10.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 119:103. Sweeter than honey to my mouth! — What deep communion must this man have had with his Maker! These expressions show a soul filled with God. O Christians, how vastly superior are our privileges! and alas! how vastly inferior in general, are our consolations, our communion with God, and our heavenly-mindedness!
