Psalm 119:48 I Will Meditate In Thy Statutes

Psalm 119:48 (KJV) My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

A statute is a written law passed by a legislative body, a law enacted by the legislative branch of a government. Therefore, when a law is on or reaches the statute book, it has been formally approved and written down and can be used in a law court.

The psalmist sought and mediate upon the ways of God, the Judge of heaven and earth that is in His commandments and the statutes of His laws so that he may know how to conduct himself rightly in the sight of God and men.

He will take time to rejoice and meditate in the Word of God that will instruct him to the ways of God understanding more clearly his duty before God and men and so have the strength to do them for His glory. Amen.
