SCRIPTURE

"I am afflicted very much: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according unto thy word." — Psalms 119:107 (ASV)

I am afflicted very much
In a temporal sense, in his body, in his family, and by his enemies; in a spiritual sense, with the corruptions of his heart, with the temptations of Satan, and with the hidings of God's face; and what with one thing or another, he was pressed above measure, and his spirits sunk under the weight of the affliction, so that he was as a dead man; and therefore prays,

quicken me, O Lord, according unto your word ;
(See Gill on Psalms 119:25).
