Clarke's Psalms 119:101 Bible Commentary
I have refrained my feet - By avoiding all sin, the spirit of wisdom still continues to rest upon me.
Barnes's Psalms 119:101 Bible Commentary
I have refrained my feet from every evil way - I have walked in the path which thy law marks out. I have avoided the way of wickedness, and have not yielded to the seductions of a sinful life.
That I might keep thy word - I have avoided all those allurements which would turn me from obedience, and which would prevent a right observance of thy commands. This indicates a purpose and a desire to keep the law of God, and shows the method which he adopted in order to do this. That method was to guard against everything which would turn him from obedience; it was, to make obedience to the law of God the great aim of the life.
