Vs. 140 — Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it.

Charles H. Spurgeon:

It is truth distilled, holiness in its quintessence. In the word of God there is no admixture of error or sin. It is pure in its sense, pure in its language, pure in its spirit, pure in its influence, and all this to the very highest degree—“very pure.” “Therefore thy servant loveth it,” which is a proof that he himself was pure in heart, for only those who are pure love God’s word because of its purity. His heart was knit to the word because of its glorious holiness and truth. He admired it, delighted in it, sought to practice it, and longed to come under its purifying power. (Spurgeon, C. H. (2009). The treasury of David: Psalms 111-119 (Vol. 5, p. 391). Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software.)

Prayer:

Your word, O’ God, is very pure; therefore Your servant loves it. You have opened my eyes, these eyes which were blind, to see the purity of Your word. There is no deficiency in Your promises, commandments, statutes, and testimonies! No hidden agendas, manipulating, hypocrisy, or bait and switch tactics in any of Your word. There is no weakness, frailty, fragmentation, or fault in any, in even one word, that has come from You. Pure … very pure–refined and proved. I have no reason to doubt what You have said, but every reason to believe and trust Your word. The testimony of Your word stands alone as righteous, just, holy, truth, faithful, honorable, and trustworthy. I throw my life onto Your word, because it is Your word. Open my heart and enlarge it that I may see wonderful things in Your word! Amen!
