Homilist Psalm 119:1-8 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.… I. HUMAN HAPPINESS CONSISTS IN WELL-DOING. "Blessed are the undefiled in the way." It is not in theories, professions, ceremonies, but in right-doing. There is true blessedness for man only in his deed, not in his mere thoughts or emotions, but in his actions. Inaction is torpor, wrong action is misery, right action is bliss. II. WELL-DOING HAS RESPECT TO THE DIVINE. "Who walk in the law of the Lord." If there really be an atheistic world, that world knows nothing of well-doing. Well-doing can only grow out of a practical regard for the Supreme Existence. III. THE RESPECT FOR THE DIVINE MUST BE THOROUGH. "With the whole heart." God must become the Moral Monarch of the soul, inspiring and controlling the whole. (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.WEB: Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh's law. |
