Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) I delight.--"I delight in (and with) the Law of God." I sympathise with and approve of it after the inward man, i.e., in the higher part of my being. "The inward man" corresponds nearly, though not quite, to the "law of my mind," in the next verse. It stands rather midway between it and the spirit. The mind is the moral and rational faculties considered as moral and rational. "The inward man" is the higher part of man's nature considered as capable of receiving the divine grace. The "spirit" is the same when actually brought into communion with God.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekForγὰρ (gar)ConjunctionStrong's 1063: For.
