Psalms 119:25-32
(25) DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
(26) I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
(27) Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
(28) My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
(29) Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
(30) I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
(31) I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
(32) I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
119:25–32. Here, it seems to me, we have the psalmist in trouble bewailing the bondage to earthly things in which he finds his mind to be held. His soul cleaves to the dust, melts for heaviness, and cries for enlargement from its spiritual prison. In these verses we shall see the influence of the divine word upon a heart which laments its downward tendencies, and is filled with mourning because of its deadening surroundings. The Word of the Lord arouses prayer (verses 25–29), confirms choice (verse 30), and inspires renewed resolve (verse 32): it is in all tribulation of body or mind the surest source of help.
