Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 40. - Behold, I have longed after thy precepts (comp. vers. 20 and 131). There are those - few, it may be, but truly blessed - who "hunger and thirst after righteousness" (Matthew 5:6). Quicken me in thy righteousness (comp. ver. 37). Help my efforts to walk in thy righteous ways.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(40) Quicken me in thy righteousness--i.e., Let the sense of thy eternal justice give me vigour and life. Or the thought may be of the invigorating influence of a complete surrender to a righteous law, as in Wordsworth's Ode to Duty;--"I myself commendUnto thy guidance from this hour.Oh let my weakness have an end!Give unto me, made lowly, wise,The spirit of self-sacrifice.The confidence of reason give,And in the light of truth thy bondsman let me live."
