Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 119:175

"Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; And let thine ordinances help me." — Psalms 119:175 (ASV)

Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee - I desire life that I may praise you; if I do live, I will praise you. My life is consecrated to your service; if lengthened out, and as far as it shall be lengthened out, it shall be devoted to you.

And let thy judgments help me - The dealings of your hand; the interpositions of your providence. Let them all be such as will be favorable to the great purpose of my soul—the service of my God.
