Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 119:111

Thy testimonies. By "testimonies" is meant the covenant between God and his people; wherein he bindeth himself to them, and them to him. Some think that the excellency of the word is here set out by many names; but we must look to the propriety of every word: as before by "judgments, "so by this word "testimonies, "is meant the covenant: not the commandments, because they cannot be an inheritance, for they cannot comfort us, because we cannot fulfil them, but fail in them, and cannot therefore take comfort in them. It is the gospel that bringeth peace and comfort. "The law, "when it is taken generally, containeth all the word, particularly the commandments; so "the word" generally containeth both law and gospel, but particularly the promises, as Romans 10:0. So likewise by the "testimonies, "when they are opposed to the law, is meant the promises of the covenant, as Isaiah 8:0, and this testimony is confirmed to us by the sacraments, as to them by sacrifices. Richard Greenham.
