Compare all
16 I will adelight myself in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word. 

ג Gimel

17 aDeal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word. 
18 Open my eyes, that I may see
Wondrous things from Your law.
19 aI am a stranger in the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me. 
20 aMy soul1 breaks with longing
For Your judgments at all times. 
21 You rebuke the proud—the cursed,
Who stray from Your commandments.
22 aRemove from me reproach and contempt,
For I have kept Your testimonies.

Psalms 119:18

Open thou mine eyes - gal eynai , reveal my eyes, illuminate my understanding, take away the veil that is on my heart, and then shall I see wonders in thy law. The Holy Scriptures are plain enough; but the heart of man is darkened by sin. The Bible does not so much need a comment, as the soul does the light of the Holy Spirit. Were it not for the darkness of the human intellect, the things relative to salvation would be easily apprehended.
