• He speaks of His testimonies before kings, and is not ashamed. This is the character of faith. It has the sense of the importance of God's testimonies, and is filled with it. Men take their place, may be respected, as due to them; but God fills and governs the mind, not by effort, but, so to speak, naturally. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:25-72” by J.N. Darby)
• In freedom of soul he would have no shame in speaking of God’s testimonies before the greatest on earth. This, surely, is ever God’s order from His servants: first, to “keep” the Word in the soul; followed by a right “walk” ―the Word having its practical effect in the life; finally, to “speak” to others, the lips speaking of that which is expressed in the life. (“Psalm 119:41-48: Division 6 (Vau)” by H. Smith)
