The Believer's Two Natures
Several commentators, particularly Charles Spurgeon, note the apparent contradiction between the psalmist's soul 'cleaving to the dust' (v. 25) and 'sticking' to God's testimonies here. This is explained as the reality of the Christian life: every believer has two natures. The new, reborn self clings to God's truth, while the old, carnal nature is still drawn to worldly things. This verse affirms that devotion to God can coexist with the struggle against sin.
