Psalms 119:25 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. My soul cleaveth unto the dust - It would be best to translate נפשי naphshi, my life; and then cleaving to the dust may imply an apprehension of approaching death; and this agrees best with the petition.

Quicken thou me - חיני chaiyeni, "make me alive." Keep me from going down into the dust.
