IV. Quotes:

Alexander Maclaren - ‘this section is mainly the expression of firm resolve to cleave to the Law … (vv. 113-115) breath love and determination … (vv. 116-117) pass into prayer in view of the psalmist’s weakness and the strength of temptation … (vv. 118-120) the fate of the despisers of the Law intensifies the psalmist’s clinging grasp of awe-struck love’

R.C. Sproul – “Only once in sacred Scripture is an attribute of God elevated to the third degree. Only once is a characteristic of God mentioned three times in succession. The Bible says that God is holy, holy, holy. Not that He is merely holy, or even holy, holy. He is holy, holy, holy. The Bible never says that God is love, love, love; or mercy, mercy, mercy; or wrath, wrath, wrath; or justice, justice, justice. It does say that he is holy, holy, holy that the whole earth is full of His glory.”
