I have seen a limit to all perfection: but your commandment is exceedingly broad.
All Commentaries on Psalms 119:96 Go To Psalms 119
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Perfection, of a worldly nature. (Haydock)
All have their limits. But God's law bindeth for ever, as the rewards and punishments are eternal. (Worthington)
Broad. Charity, which extends both to God and our neighbour. (St. Augustine)
The law is above my comprehension, though I am able to discern its superiority over all created things. Some understand Jesus Christ, the end of the law; or martyrdom, the height of charity; or extreme distress, by the word perfection. (Berthier)
Literally, "consummation. "(Haydock)
I have been exposed to the greatest misery: but thy law has set me at large, Sophonias i. 18. (Calmet)
