 {v.21-23} Second, the servant of God finds he is, not only a stranger in the earth, but opposed by the wicked, who in their pride and princely prosperity heap reproaches and contempt upon the one who walks in lowly obedience of God. The godly man forms a just estimate of such. He sees they are rebuked of God and under a curse. (Psalm 119:17-24: Division 3 (Gimel) by H. Smith)
 This delight in the word gives a just estimate of man in the world, the “proud” man acting from his own will and setting himself up. He may seem to succeed and puff at God. He is under a curse, he errs from the one true way of man—God’s ways. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:1-24 by J.N. Darby)
