Psalms 119:37 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Vanity; the vain things and lusts of this present evil world, such as riches, honours, pleasures; from beholding them, to wit, with admiration and inordinate affection; for such a sight of the eyes doth usually affect the heart, and stir up men's lusts and passions; of which see Numbers 15:39 Job 31:1 Proverbs 4:25, Proverbs 23:5,6 Mt 5:28 Quicken thou me in thy way; as I desire that I may be dull and dead in afflictions to worldly vanities; so, Lord, make me lively, and vigorous, and fervent in thy work and service.

Psalms 119:37

37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
