Psalms 119:130 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The entrance of thy words; the very beginnings and rudiments of them; the first discoveries of those sacred mysteries; and much more the depths of them, in which their chief excellency consists. Or, as others both ancient and later interpreters render the place, The opening of thy words; by which may be understood, either,

1. The opening of men's minds by the word of God; but that seems to be the same thing with giving light, which here follows; or,

2. The opening or declaration of God's mind made in and by his word. Unto the simple; to the most ignorant and unlearned persons, who are but willing to learn.

Psalms 119:130

130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
