Gill's Exposition on Psalms 119:29
Remove from me the way of lying,.... Not the sin of lying to men, and a course of it, which David was not addicted to; but a "false way", or "way of falsehood" (b); as it may be rendered, and so the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 119:29
Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. Remove from me the way of lying; and grant me thy law graciously.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 119:29
The way of lying; or, of falsehood; either, 1. The practice of lying, and dissembling, and cheating, which is so rife in Saul’ s court, and in the courts of most princes; but, Lord, let it not be so in my courts. Or rather, 2. Every false way of doctrine or worship; for to this way he opposeth God’ s law in the next clause. And he justly prayeth to God to keep him from apostacy, heresy, idolatry, and superstition, because his own corrupt nature of itself and without God’ s grace was prone to these errors, and not only heathens, but many Israelites, did frequently fall into them. Grant me thy law graciously; vouchsafe unto me an accurate knowledge and firm belief of thy word, and that I may constantly attend and adhere to it, and govern myself by it in all things.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 119:29
Psalms 119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.Ver. 29. Remove from me the way of lying] A sin that David, through diffidence, fell into frequently. See 1 Samuel 21:2; 1 Samuel 21:8, where he roundly telleth three or four lies; and the like he did, 1 Samuel 27:8; 1 Samuel 27:10 : this evil he saw by himself, and here prayeth against it. And grant me thy law] For a preservative from this foul sin; herein gratify me, good Lord.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 119:29
(29) Way of lying.—Not of falsehood to men so much as insincerity and unfaithfulness towards God, the opposite of the truth and faithfulness of Psa 119:30. Grant me.—Rather, be gracious to me according to thy law. This is the persistent cry of the psalm.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 119:29
Verse 29. The way of lying] The propensity to falsity and prevarication, whatsoever is contrary to truth. Remove me from its solicitations, and remove it from me. "Grant me thy law graciously;" give it to me as a rule of moral conduct; but give it to me graciously through the Gospel; and then it will not be the letter that killeth, but will be sanctified to me, so as to become to me holy, just, and GOOD.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 119:29
25–32. Daleth. In the midst of humiliation and trial the Psalmist protests the sincerity of his purpose, and prays for deepened knowledge to keep him true and steadfast.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 119:29
Remove from me - Take it from me; cause it to depart; let me not be under its influence or power. The way of lying - Every false, deceitful, hypocritical way.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 119:29
ã, Daleth.25-32. My soul cleaveth unto the dust—Now is presented a soul in deep affliction, as if the trial in the previous division had gone against him; as if he had suffered the loss of all things, and worse was yet to follow.
