Psalms 119:86
Compare all
84 aHow many are the days of Your servant?
bWhen will You execute judgment on those who persecute me? 
85 aThe proud have dug pits for me,
Which is not according to Your law. 
86 All Your commandments are faithful;
They persecute me awrongfully;
Help me! 
87 They almost made an end of me on earth,
But I did not forsake Your precepts.
88 Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,
So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

Psalms 119:86

All thy commandments are faithful - Margin, "faithfulness." The idea in the Hebrew is that they are worthy to be relied on. They are founded in truth, and they should secure our confidence.

They persecute me wrongfully ... - Hebrew, a "lie, "or "falsehood." That is, There is a "lie" or "falsehood" at the foundation of their persecutions. Those persecutions are not based on any just views of what I am, or of the treatment which I ought to receive at the hand of my fellow-men. They charge on me tilings which are not true, and they act accordingly. See the notes at Psalms 119:78.
