Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 119:77

Let thy tender mercies, etc. Taking the more literal rendering, the words express high confidence "Thy tender mercies shall come unto me, and I shall live; for thy law is my delight." Had the believer nothing but his own deserts to support his plea at the throne of grace, he could never rise into this high confidence. He goes upon the foundation of the divine goodness, manifested through the anointed One, and he goes surely. John Stephen.
