Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 1. - O God, thou art my God; or, my strong God (Eli) - my Tower of strength. Early will I seek thee. The song was, perhaps, composed in the night watches, and poured forth at early dawn, when the king woke "refreshed" (comp. vers. 5, 6; and 2 Samuel 16:14). My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee; or, pineth for thee (the verb occurs only in this place). Soul and body equally long for God, and especially desire to worship him in the sanctuary (ver. 2). In a dry and thirsty (or, weary) land, where no water is. This is figurative, no doubt; but it may also contain an allusion to the literal fact (2 Samuel 16:2; 2 Samuel 17:29).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(1) Early will I seek thee.--LXX. and Vulgate, "to thee I wake early," i.e., my waking thoughts are toward thee, and this was certainly in the Hebrew, since the verb here used has for its cognate noun the dawn. The expectancy which even in inanimate nature seems to await the first streak of morning is itself enough to show the connection of thought. (Comp. the use of the same verb in Song of Solomon 7:12; and comp. Luke 21:28, New Testament Commentary.)Soul . . . flesh.--Or, as we say, body and soul. (Comp. Psalm 84:2, "my heart and my flesh.")Longeth.--Heb., khamah, a word only occurring here, but explained as cognate with an Arabic root meaning to be black as with hunger and faintness.In.--Rather, as. (Comp. Psalm 143:6.) This is the rendering of one of the Greek versions quoted by Origen, and Symmachus has "as in," &c . . .
