Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Psalms 119:43

Take not thy word of truth utterly, &c.— The judgments of God were that word of truth in which he trusted: to pray God, therefore, not to take them out of his mouth, is the same as to pray that God would act agreeably to his word; for otherwise he could no longer, with any grace, make use of it, or derive any consolation from it. Mudge.
