"My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved,.... Showing by such a gesture his great esteem of them, and affection for them; stretching out
his hands, and embracing them with both arms, as it were: and this being a praying gesture, Ti2 2:8 , may signify his earnest desire and request that he might have grace and spiritual strength to enable him to observe them; and it being used in swearing, Gen 14:22 , may express his firm resolution in the strength of divine grace to keep them; and the phrase signifying a doing or an attempt to do anything, Gen 41:44 , may denote his practical observance of the commands, his putting his hand to do them with all his might; and I will meditate in thy statutes; and thereby get a better understanding of them, and be in a better disposition and capacity to keep them.
