Psalms 119
1 This psalm contains sundry prayers, praises, and professions of obedience. A.M. 3560. B.C. 444. (Title.)This Psalm, which was probably composed by Ezra, is another of the alphabetical Psalms: it consists of twenty-two parts, answering to the number of the Hebrew letters; every part being divided into eight verses, and each verse beginning with that letter which forms the title of the part; that is, the first part of eight verses with [Aleph,] the second with [Bêyth,] etc. It is an elegant, important, and useful composition; the chief subjects of which are the excellence of God's laws, and the happiness of those who observe them.

From this word is derived the name of [Gîymel,] {gimmel,} the third letter of the alphabet, which is prefixed to every verse in this part: this is a stroke of the Psalmist's art and ingenuity. 65,124,132; 13:6; 116:7; Joh 1:16; 2Co 9:7-11; Php 4:19I may live.Ro 8:2-4; Eph 2:4,5,10; Tit 2:11,12; 1Jo 2:29; 5:3,4 Open.

Thus the Psalmist appeared to himself to have become useless and despicable, through the exhausted state of his body and mind, by long bodily afflictions and mental distress. 22:15; 102:3,4; Job 30:30yet do I.16,61,176 How.39:4,5; 89:47,48; 90:12; Job 7:6-8when.7:6; Re 6:10,11 The proud.This metaphor is taken from the mode in which wild beasts are caught in the East: deep pits are dug in the earth, and slightly covered over with reeds, turf, etc., so as not to be discerned from the solid ground; and the animals attempting to walk over them, the surface breaks, they fall in, and are taken alive. Thus the Psalmist's enemies employed craft as well as power in order to effect his ruin. 78; 7:15; 35:7; 36:11; Pr 16:27; Jer 18:20which.58:1,2 All thy.128,138,142,151; 19:9; Ro 7:12faithful.
