Wesley: Psa 119:48 - Lift up

To receive and embrace thy precepts and promises.

JFB: Psa 119:45-48

To freedom from reproach, when imbued with God's truth, there is added "great boldness in the faith" [1Ti 3:13], accompanied with increasing delight in the holy law itself, which becomes an element of happiness.

JFB: Psa 119:48 - My hands . . . lift up unto . . . commandments

That is, I will prayerfully (Psa 28:2) direct my heart to keep Thy commandments.

Clarke: Psa 119:48 - My hands also will I lift up

My hands also will I lift up - I will present every victim and sacrifice which the law requires. I will make prayer and supplication before thee, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Psa 119:48 - Lift up // I will meditate in thy statutes

Lift up to lay hold upon them, to receive and embrace thy precepts and promises by faith and love, and cheerfully and vigorously to put them in practice; for as the hanging down of the hands is a gesture of sloth and listlessness, as 2Ch 15:7 , and elsewhere; so the lifting up of the hands is the posture of a man entering upon action, as Gen 41:44 2Sa 20:21 .

I will meditate in thy statutes my deepest thoughts, as well as my hands, shall be exercised in them.

Gill: Psa 119:48 - My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved // and I will meditate in thy statutes

My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved,.... Showing by such a gesture his great esteem of them, and affection for them; stretching out his hands, and embracing them with both arms, as it were: and this being a praying gesture, 2Ti 2:8, may signify his earnest desire and request that he might have grace and spiritual strength to enable him to observe them; and it being used in swearing, Gen 14:22, may express his firm resolution in the strength of divine grace to keep them; and the phrase signifying a doing or an attempt to do anything, Gen 41:44, may denote his practical observance of the commands, his putting his hand to do them with all his might;

and I will meditate in thy statutes; and thereby get a better understanding of them, and be in a better disposition and capacity to keep them.
