He must exult in God’s word as his treasure, live in the spirit of obedience as his work, and ever glory in God, who has called him to such a state<\/I> of salvation.<\/P> 15. He must never forget what God has done for him, done in him<\/I>, and promised farther to do<\/I>; and he must not forget<\/I> the promises<\/I> he had made, and the vows<\/I> of the Lord that are upon him. Any young man who attends to these fifteen<\/I> particulars will get his impure way cleansed; victory over his sin; and, if he abide faithful to the Lord that bought him, an eternal heaven at last among them that are sanctified<\/I>.<\/P> <\/P> ANALYSIS OF LETTER BETH. – <\/B>Second Division<\/B><\/I><\/P> <\/P> In the first part the psalmist, having commended God’s law, from its Author – God, and its end – happiness, shows us in the second<\/I> part the efficacy and utility of it to a holy life<\/I>, without which there can be no happiness<\/I>. And in order to show this effect, he chooses the most unlikely subject<\/I>.<\/P> <\/P> I. A young man<\/I>, in whom the law of the members is most strong; he wants experience; he is headstrong, and generally under the government, not of reason nor religion, but of his own passions.<\/P> <\/P> II. The psalmist shows that, to cleanse the way of such, he must “take heed to them,” watch over them, and “remember his Creator in the days of his youth.”<\/P> <\/P> As a man must become holy<\/I> in order to be happy<\/I>, he shows how this holiness is to be attained, and adduces his own experience.<\/P> <\/P> 1. Seek God with thy “whole heart.” Be truly sensible of your wants.<\/P> <\/P> 2. Keep and remember what God says: “Thy words have I hidden,” &c.<\/P> <\/P> 3. Reduce all this to practice: “That I might not sin against thee.”<\/P> <\/P> 4. Bless God for what he has given: “Blessed art thou,” &c.<\/P> <\/P> 5. Ask more: “Teach me thy statutes.”<\/P> <\/P> 6. Be ready to communicate his knowledge to others: “With my lips have I declared.”<\/P> <\/P> 7. Let it have a due effect on thy own heart: “I have rejoiced,” &c.<\/P> <\/P> 8. Meditate frequently upon them: “I will meditate,” &c.<\/P> <\/P> 9. Deeply reflect on them: “I will have respect,” &c. As food undigested will not nourish the body, so the word of God not considered with deep meditation and reflection will not feed the soul.<\/P> <\/P> 10. Having pursued the above course, he should continue in it, and then his happiness would be secured: “I will not forget thy word. I will (in consequence) delight myself in thy statutes.”<\/P> <\/p>\n I will delight myself in thy statutes<\/strong>,…. In looking over them; in meditating on them; in obeying them, and walking according to them; as every good man does delight in the law of the Lord, after the inward man, Ro 7:22<\/span>; see Ps 119:24<\/span>;<\/p>\n I will not forget thy word<\/strong>: he took all proper methods to fix it in his memory; he laid it up in his mind; he meditated upon it in his heart, and he talked of it with his lips, Ps 119:11<\/span>.<\/p>\n Psa 119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.<\/p>\n Ver. 16.
