Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Way of Holiness, Vol. 5: An Exposition of Psalm CXIX, Analytical and Devotional The Psalm which has been the food of so many holy souls has naturally had a large number of commentators. Its simplicity does not leave the soul to wander as in a wilderness, but lifts up the soul to contemplate the glory of God in the varied relationship of His holy covenant. It is the utterance of a heart which feels the earth round about it to be a wilderness, but yet it goes upon its way rejoicing by reason of the Divine Presence which is its own true home. So this Psalm conducts us through the wilderness of the world in the fellowship of the Incarnate Son of God. It follows upon the Hallel which celebrated the Exodus from Egypt of old. It leads to the Psalms of Ascent, and thus to the great Hallel where the people of God praise the Lord for His mercy endureth for ever. It is only by continually using this Psalm that we can attain to the full enjoyment of its mysteries. The ear of the loving heart will be awake to its guidance. The various contributions which may be suggested by previous students of the Psalm help us to catch the sounds of a higher voice speaking in varied ways to attentive souls. It is hoped that the following notes, brief as they are, may lead some readers not merely to see new light shining out in various places like stars in the dark firmament, but also to recognise certain laws of Divine interpretation which may lead on to further applications of meditative study. It will be seen that the references in this little treatise are generally given in a double form, first to the Section, then to the verse. It will be found that the Sectional number supplies the key note of the octave in which the verse occurs. The Sections are numbered not arithmetically but alphabetically according to the value of the letter which is the acrostic for those eight verses.
