This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In the law, i.e. in the study and practice of it, as appears from the context. The law of God may be here understood of the whole doctrine delivered by God to the church, consisting of doctrines, precepts, promises, and threatening, &c.; as it is taken Psa_37:1 58:1 Isa_51:7 Joh_10:34; or more particularly of the preceptive part of it, which is commonly so called; and so this is noted as the peculiar character of a good man, that he delighteth himself not only in the promises, which a bad man may do, Mat_13:20, but even in the commands of God, Psa_112:1 119:47 127 143 1Jo_5:3, which are unwelcome and burdensome to a wicked man.
The word
meditate implies a deep, and serious, and affectionate thoughtfulness about it: see Psa_19:14 49:3 Pro_24:2 Isa_33:18.
Day and night; not seldom and slightly, as hypocrites do; but diligently, frequently, constantly, and upon all occasions.
