My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
The verse belongs to David's testimony in a psalm that exalts God's law and holds up His Word as the rule for life. In that setting God's Word instructs and gives understanding, inclining the heart to obey His statutes, while His testimonies guide the mind to His Word, and this obedience shapes character and life. The law sets forth the principles of righteousness and clearly distinguishes right from wrong and truth from error.
The verse points to the sacredness of God's law, which is to be proclaimed with solemn earnestness as testimony that the wickedness of the world has reached the point where the Lord will certainly interfere.
