Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
If your law had not been my delight, my troubles would have put an end to me.
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
Unless thy law had been my delights - Had we not had the consolations of religion, we should long ago have died of a broken heart.
Unless thy law had been my delights - See Psalm 119:16, note; Psalm 119:24, note. Unless I had had pleasure in thy law, thy word, thy truth; unless I had derived support and consolation in that.
I should then have perished in mine affliction - I should have sunk under my burden. I should not have been able to hold up under the weight of sorrow and trial. How often the people of God can say. this! How often may each one in the course of his life say this! "I should have sunk a thousand times," said a most excellent, but much afflicted, man to me, "if it had not been for one declaration in the word of God - 'The Eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.'"
