Psalm 119:50

WEB

This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me.

BSB

This is my comfort in affliction, that Your promise has given me life.

KJV

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

Matthew Henry

Verse 50

Psalms 119:50

Here is David's experience of benefit by the word. 1. As a means of his sanctification: "Thy word has quickened me. It made me alive when I was dead in sin; it has many a time made me lively when I was dead in duty; it has quickened me to that which is good when I was backward and averse to it, and it has quickened me in that which is good when I was cold and indifferent." 2. Therefore as a means of his consolation when he was in affliction and needed something to support him: "Because thy word has quickened my at other times, it has comforted me then." The word of God has much in it that speaks comfort in affliction; but those only may apply it to themselves who have experienced in some measure the quickening power of the word. If through grace it make us holy, there is enough in it to make us easy, in all conditions, under all events.
