The opposition of powerful individuals did not intimidate the writer ( Psalm 119:161). He continued to love God"s Word and to find it a ceaseless source of joy, but he hated falsehood ( Psalm 119:162-164). Great peace (Heb. shalom, the fullness of God"s blessings) is the portion of those who love God"s law and hope in His salvation ( Psalm 119:165-166). Love had motivated the writer to keep the Lord"s commandments and to live openly before God ( Psalm 119:167-168). [source][source][source]
