span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.119.1" class="versetxt"> Canticum graduum. [Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi,
et exaudivit me.
Domine, libera animam meam a labiis iniquis
et a lingua dolosa.
Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi
ad linguam dolosam?
Sagitt� potentis acut�,
cum carbonibus desolatoriis.
Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est!
habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar;
multum incola fuit anima mea.
Cum his qui oderunt pacem eram pacificus;
cum loquebar illis, impugnabant me gratis.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

[It is] good for me that I have been afflicted,.... The good and profit of which he had observed before; :-. The following end being also answered thereby,

that I might learn thy statutes; to understand them, and to keep them. Afflictions are sometimes as a school to the people of God, in which they learn much both of their duty and of their privileges; and when they are teaching and instructive, they are for good; see Psalms 94:12.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

It is good for me that I have been afflicted - See the notes at Psalms 119:67. Whatever may have been the form of the affliction, it was good for me. The design was benevolent; the result has been my own benefit. This will be the experience sooner or later resulting from all the afflictions of the righteous.

That I might learn thy statutes - That I might be brought more fully to understand what they require; and that I might be led to conform to them. It is implied here

(a) that this is the tendency of affliction; and

(b) that this is an advantage - a good.

Anything that will lead a man to obey God is a blessing and a favor. Whatever leads a sinner to secure the salvation of his soul is a gain to him. No matter what it may cost; no matter what he may be required to give up; no matter to what persecutions and troubles it may expose him; no matter what he may suffer, or how long he may suffer; no matter though poverty, contempt, toil - even the rack or the stake - may be the consequence of his religion - yet it is again to him; and he will be thankful for it in the end - for nothing that can be endured in this life can be compared with the sufferings of the world of despair; nothing on earth can be “compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us in heaven.” See the notes at Romans 8:18.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 119:71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted — See on Psalms 119:67.
