Commentaries on Psalms 119:25
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25My 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.Read the comment

Suffering and death may result from the Lord’s discipline (Psalms 118:17–18; 119:67, 71, 75), but his instruction renews the weary soul (see 119:12).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 25-2725-27. Submitting ourselves in depression to God, He will revive us by His promises, and lead us to declare His mercy to others.Read the comment
