Ver. 11. Thy word have I hid in my heart] Ut peculium in apotheca; as treasure; or as an amulet in a case or chest; as the pot of manna in the ark.

That I might not sin against thee] See but the commination against the temptation, and it will be a special preservative. Eve held the precept, but faltered in the threat. The Rabbis have a saying, In cuius corde est lex Dei, imaginatio mala non habet in eum dominium, He who hath the law of God in his heart is armed against evil lusts.
