but I . . . meditate in thy precepts—and so shall not be "ashamed," that is, put to shame (Psalms 119:80).

Psalms 119:75-78

in faithfulness—that is, without in the least violating Thy faithfulness; because my sins deserved and needed fatherly chastisement. Enduring chastisement with a filial temper (Hebrews 12:6-11), God's promises of mercy (Romans 8:28) will be fulfilled, and He will give comfort in sorrow (Lamentations 3:22; II Corinthians 1:3-4).
