In verse 92 we see the determination of David's trust in God's law. There would be no wavering on his stand about what God had declared in His word. Along with David's steadfastness to God's law was his absolute joy of meditating on it. It is the meditation of God's word in David's daily life that gave him an anchor when times were difficult. Many will run to the scriptures and hope to hear God speak in the storm, and that's ok. How much better to be meditating on His word before the storm reaches our shores. That's what David goes is saying. Unless thy law had be my delights, I should have perished in my affliction. Though a man spend his entire life meditating on God's word, his life would not be wasted.
