Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 119:54

"Thy statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage." — Psalms 119:54 (ASV)

Songs. —Or, Your statutes were my music in the house of my sojournings. Possibly with reference to the exile , but in comparison with Psalms 119:9 (see Note), the reference is more probably to the transitoriness of human life. In connection with the next verse, compare Job 35:10.
