Psalm 119:1-8 Part 2

Lovers of God's holy Word are blessed, because they are preserved from defilement (Psa_119:1), because they are made practically holy (Psa_119:2 and Psa_119:3), and are led to follow after God sincerely and intensely (Psa_119:2). It is seen that this holy walking must be desirable because God commands it (Psa_119:4); therefore the pious soul prays for it (Psa_119:5), and feels that its comfort and courage must depend upon obtaining it (Psa_119:6). In the prospect of answered prayer, yea, while the prayer is being answered the heart is full of thankfulness (Psa_119:7), and is fixed in solemn resolve not to miss the blessing if the Lord will give enabling grace (Psa_119:8).
