Psalm 119:143
“Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 119Meaning
Tsadhe (vv.137–144) refuses to make delight dependent on the absence of distress.
Tsadhe
God's righteousness and pure truth remain dependable while the servant is small, zealous, and distressed.
Read carefully
The verse explicitly holds anguish and delight together.
Reflection
Use sustaining truths without denying distress or avoiding appropriate help.
