Psalms 119:17-24

GIMEL.

Here are again many very gracious and fervent breathings after divine favor, which need nothing explanatory by way of comment. Some of them very highly correspond with what might be supposed to be the language of Jesus as the great head and surety of his people. And when we consider the grace and condescension of the Son of God, in his assumption of our nature, and that it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, we cannot but feel a particular satisfaction, and holy joy, whenever we see him going before us in all the paths of duty. Reader! how shall you and I find equal encouragement as when we look up to the ever-blessed Jesus, who, though Lord of all, yet became servant of all, that we through his poverty might be made rich? 2 Corinthians 8:9.
