Psalms 119:25

DALETH.

Psalms 119:25. My soul cleaveth unto the dust That is, as some understand it, I am in danger of present death: I am like one laid in the grave; so this phrase is used Psalms 22:15. Quicken thou me Preserve my life, or raise me out of the dust; according to thy word According to thy promise. But the psalmist, probably, rather complains in these words of his affections being apt to cleave to worldly objects, which are but dust, and prays for quickening and purifying grace to render him more spiritually minded. And every one whose affections are set on things below has reason to make a similar confession, and to pray, as he did, for quickening and regenerating grace, to raise him to those things which are above, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God.
