Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 119:39

For thy judgments are good. One would have expected him to say For thou art merciful Cause my reproach which I fear to pass over from me, for thou art merciful. No, he does not add this as his present reason, but "Thy judgments are good." We should catch the meaning at once, were the words these For thy judgments are awful "Turn away my reproach which I fear, "for thy judgments are awful. But as the words are "For thy judgments are good, "we find he verily takes refuge in the "judgments" viz., that the Lord would vindicate him against all the unjust judgments of men; and as to judgment with God, since he took refuge in the atonement which the Lord had appointed, the Lord would vindicate him there also. John Stephen.
