This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ver. 151. Thou art near to me. Thou art as ready and present to succour me as they are to molest me.
Thy commandments; considered with the promises and threatenings, which are frequently annexed to them. Or, the promises, as this word seems to be used, Psa_111:7, and elsewhere in this Psalm. And God is said to command not only his precepts, or the observation thereof, but also his covenant, Psa_105:8 111:9, which is a collection or body of the promises; and his loving-kindness, Psa_42:8, which is the fountain of the promises; and his blessing, Psa_133:3, which is the fruit of his promises; and deliverances, Psa_44:4, which are the things promised. And therefore it is not strange if he promises be sometimes called commandments.
