Barnes' Notes
This I had, because I kept thy precepts - literally, "This was to me;" that is, This has happened to me; this has occurred. This joyful remembrance of thy law in the night of affliction Psalms 119:50; this stability and firmness on my part in keeping thy law when proud men have derided me Psalms 119:51; this comfort which I have derived from meditating on thy statutes Psalms 119:52; this solicitude for the welfare of others Psalms 119:53; this peace which I have enjoyed in thy law in the house of my pilgrimage Psalms 119:54; and this consolation which I have had in thee in the night-season Psalms 119:55; - all this has been granted to me because I have kept thy statutes; because I have sought to be obedient - to serve time - to find my happiness in thee. These are the proper fruits and effects of keeping the law of God. Such peace does it impart; so much does it do to sustain and comfort the soul.
