Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
Ver. 18. Open thou mine eyes] Heb. unveil them, velamen amove, volumen evolve, give sight and light; irradiate both organ and object. In spirituals we are not only dim sighted, but blind as beetles, 1 Corinthians 2:14. Oh pray for that precious eye salve, Revelation 3:17, for that supernal light, 2 Corinthians 4:6, and whensoever we open the Bible to read, say, as here, "Open thou mine eyes," &c., as when we close it up again say, "I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad," Psalms 119:96 .
Wondrous things] Mirabilia magnalia, mysteria; such as none can understand and unriddle but such as plough with God's own heifer, 1 Corinthians 2:11 .
