Homilist Psalm 119:17 Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live, and keep your word.… Two facts suggested concerning human life: I. That its CONTINUANCE DEPENDS UPON DIVINE MERCY. No creature has a right to live. All finite life is a gift; especially is this the case with human life, that has outraged its constitution and rebelled against its Creator. We live by mercy. II. That its VALUE DEPENDS UPON TRUE OBEDIENCE. Life apart from obedience is a life without moral peace, without harmony, without spiritual usefulness, without God, without hope. (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.WEB: Do good to your servant. I will live and I will obey your word. |
