Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 94:19

"In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul." — Psalms 94:19 (ASV)

Thoughts. —Properly, dividing— i.e., “perplexing” or “anxious” thoughts. (Job 20:2.) Septuagint and Vulgate, “griefs.”

We may compare the Virgilian “animum nunc huc celerem, nunc dividit illuc,” imitated by Tennyson:
This way and that dividing his swift mind,
In act to throw.”

Delight. —Literally, stroke, and so soothe. The Hebrew word is used in Isaiah 66:11 of a mother quieting her child with the breast, and in Jeremiah 16:7 of the cup of consolation given to mourners at funerals.
