KJV
This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
HOMILY ON PSALM 118 (367)
We are instructed in all this, but the prophet has already experienced it. He says, "This hope has consoled me in my humility, for your word has given me life." The hope is the hope that God has implanted in him. It has consoled him "in his humility," that is, when he is spurned, mocked, vexed by injustices, dishonored by insults, for he knows that he is soldiering through his present trials. But the hope instilled by the Lord consoles him in these wars endured in his weakness, and he is lent life by the utterances of God.
Resting on the promises consoles under affliction and the tauntings of the insolent. upon which--rather, "Remember Thy word unto Thy servant, because," &c. So the Hebrew requires [HENGSTENBERG].
