Let my . . . be sound--that is, perfect, sincere.
ashamed--disappointed in my hope of salvation. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Let my heart be sound ... - Hebrew, "Be perfect." See the notes at Job 1:1. The Septuagint here is "immaculate," ἄμωμος amōmos. So the Latin Vulgate. It is the expression of a desire that the heart might be pure; that there might be no improper attachment for other objects; that there might be no defect of love to God.
That I be not ashamed - See the notes at Psa 119:6. A man has no occasion to be ashamed of a pure heart; and that which can alone keep us from being ultimately ashamed is sincerity, uprightness, and purity in the service of God. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Sound - That I may love and obey them sincerely, constantly, and universally. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Let my heart be sound in thy statutes - Let it be perfect - all given up to thee, and all possessed by thee. |
