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

Wesley: Psa 119:40 - Longed

After a more solid knowledge and constant performance of them.

Wesley: Psa 119:40 - In

According to thy faithfulness.

JFB: Psa 119:39-40

Our hope of freedom from the reproach of inconsistency is in God's power, quickening us to live according to His Word, which He leads us to love.

JFB: Psa 119:39-40 - for thy judgments are good

The time must therefore be at hand when Thy justice will turn the "reproach" from Thy Church upon the world (Isa 25:8; Isa 66:5; Zep 2:8-10).

Clarke: Psa 119:40 - Behold, I have longed

Behold, I have longed - Thou searchest the heart; thou knowest that I have long desired thy salvation; thou seest that this desire still remains. Behold it! it is thy work; and through thy mercy I breathe after thy mercy

Clarke: Psa 119:40 - Quicken me

Quicken me - I am dying; O give me the spirit of life in Christ Jesus

Calvin: Psa 119:40 - Behold, I have a desire to thy precepts

40.Behold, I have a desire to thy precepts This is a repetition of what he declared a little before, with regard to his pious affection, and his love of righteousness; and that nothing was wanting but God to complete the work which he had commenced. If this interpretation be admitted, then, to be quickened in the righteousness of God, will be tantamount to being quickened in the way. The term righteousness is often put in this psalm for the law of God, or the rule of a righteous life. This view tends to make the two parts of the verse accord with one another. “Lord, this is now a remarkable kindness thou hast done me, in having inspired me with a holy desire to keep thy law; one thing is still necessary, that this same virtue pervade my whole life.” But as the word righteousness is ambiguous, my readers may, if they choose, understand it thus: Restore, defend, and maintain me for the sake of thy goodness, which thou art wont to show to all thy people. I have already pointed out the exposition which I prefer.

Poole: Psa 119:40 - After thy precepts // Quicken me // In thy righteousness

After thy precepts after a more solid knowledge and constant performance of thy precepts.

Quicken me do thou preserve and maintain both my natural and spiritual life.

In thy righteousness according to thy justice or faithfulness, which obligeth thee to make good thy promises.

Gill: Psa 119:40 - Behold, I have longed after thy precepts // quicken me in thy righteousness

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts,.... After a greater degree of knowledge of them, and an opportunity of hearing them explained and enforced, and of yielding obedience to them; see Psa 119:7;

quicken me in thy righteousness: in the way of righteousness, according to the word of righteousness, the Gospel, and with the righteousness of Christ revealed in it; and which is unto life, and quickens and comforts the heart, and from whence abundance of peace and joy flows.
