Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Order my steps--Make firm, so that there be no halting (Psa 40:2).
any iniquity-- Psa 119:34 favors HENGSTENBERG, "any iniquitous man," any "oppressor." But the parallel first clause in this (Psa 119:33) favors English Version (Psa 19:13). His hope of deliverance from external oppression of man (Psa 119:34) is founded on his deliverance from the internal "dominion of iniquity," in answer to his prayer (Psa 119:33). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Order my steps in thy word - My goings, or, my conduct and life - by thy word; according to thy requirements. Let me be wholly obedient to thy will.
And let not any iniquity have dominion over me - See the notes at Psa 19:13. The prayer is, that no form of sin, that no wicked passion or propensity, might be allowed to rule over him. He who is willing that any one sin should rule in his heart, though he should be free from all other forms of sin, cannot be a pious man. See the notes at Jam 2:10. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Steps - My motions and actions. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Order my steps - הכן hachen, make them firm; let me not walk with a halting or unsteady step.
Have dominion over me - בי bi, In me. Let me have no governor but God, let the throne of my heart be filled by him, and none other. |
33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
