Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night. And how, then, shall we come to know the delighting which is true and perfect from that which is counterfeit and defective? Shall we say, it must be a delighting only, or but only chiefly? Not only, for so we should delight in nothing else; and who doubts but there are many other delights which both Nature requires and God allows? therefore, not only, but chiefly; yet so chiefly as in a manner only; for chiefly is properly where there may be comparison; but this is so chiefly as admits of no comparison. In presence of this, all other delights do lose their light; in balance with this, all other delights are found to be light. (Sir Richard Baker.) Parallel Verses KJV: But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.WEB: but his delight is in Yahweh's law. On his law he meditates day and night. |
