Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
These 176 verses are heavy enough to discourage us. After all, according to this text, we have to be blameless according to the Law, keep the testimonies, seek God with our whole hearts, do no wrong, diligently keep the precepts, keep the statutes, and fix our eyes on his commandments. All while making sure we have an upright heart in all things. It is an overwhelmingly impossible task set before us.
"How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word." I loved this verse and used it often to encourage people to study and know the Scripture. But that isn't what the Psalmist has in mind. Here, "word" means the Law, testimonies, precepts, statutes, and commandments of God. And if we can keep them perfectly, we would be pure. But, spoilers, we can't keep them perfectly. We need a savior. We need the righteousness that gloriously comes from faith. We agree with the Psalmist in verse 41, "Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord, your salvation ACCORDING TO YOUR PROMISE."
