Commentary on Psalms 119:18

Theological / Devotional

Open. Heb. galah, “to uncover,” “to reveal.” The psalmist prays that whatever is covering his eyes may be removed. We cannot penetrate the deep things of God with our natural perceptive powers. “The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God ” (1 Cor. 2:14). We need to pray that the Lord will take the dimness away from our soul, and that He will grant to us the Holy Spirit, who alone can reveal the things of God to us (1 Cor. 2:10).
