I will keep your statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
All Commentaries on Psalms 119:8 Go To Psalms 119
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Utterly. Hebrew nimis, as ver. 4. (Haydock)
It may be advantageous to us to be left awhile, that we may know our own weakness. (St. Gregory, Mor. xx. 21.) (Worthington)
He does not beg never to be tempted, or in tribulation; (Haydock) but only that he may not yield to sin. (St. Hilary)
He may always at least have recourse to prayer, 1 Thessalonians v. 17.
The neglect of this duty occasions so many falls. (Berthier)
