Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 119:97

O how love I thy law! Were I to enjoy Hezekiah's grant, and to have fifteen years added to my life, I would be much more frequent in my applications to the throne of grace. Were I to renew my studies, I would take my leave of those accomplished trifles the historians, the orators, the poets of antiquity and devote my attention to the Scriptures of truth. I would sit with much greater assiduity at my Divine Master's feet, and desire to know nothing but "Jesus Christ, and him crucified." This wisdom, whose fruits are peace in life, consolation in death, and everlasting salvation after death this I would trace this I would seek this I would explore through the spacious and delightful fields of the Old and New Testament. James Hervey, 1714-1758.
