Psalms 119:127-128

Therefore—that is, In view of these benefits, or, Because of the glory of Thy law, so much praised in the previous parts of the Psalm.

I love . . . [and] Therefore (repeated)—All its precepts, on all subjects, are estimable for their purity, and lead one imbued with their spirit to hate all evil (Psalms 19:10). The Word of God admits of no eclecticism; its least title is perfect (Psalms 12:6; Matthew 5:17-19).
