 But the desire of the heart is not here deliverance, sweet as it may be, but that, in turning to God in this path of righteousness, the free-will offerings of his mouth may be accepted. He can bring, as kept there, and God's thoughts in him, free praises to God: that was not interrupted through affliction. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:73-120 by J.N. Darby)
 It is not the simple-hearted praise of one in known relationship when it flows forth unhesitatingly as the natural and necessary fruit of blessing. As he praises, so he looks to be taught in God's ways, in contrast with evil. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:73-120 by J.N. Darby)
 To offer acceptable praises in spite of it, and to be taught of the Lord through it (vs. 108). (Psalm 119:105-112: Division 14 (Nun) by H. Smith)
