Gill's Notes on the Bible

The troubles of my heart are enlarged,.... His enemies being increased, which troubled him; the floods of ungodly men made him afraid; the waters of affliction were come into his soul, and spread themselves, and threatened to overwhelm him: or it may be rendered, as by some, "troubles have enlarged my heart" h; made him wiser, increased his knowledge and experience; see Psalms 119:67; but the former seems better to agree with what follows;

[O] bring thou me out of my distresses; or "straits" i; for the enlargement of his troubles was the straitening of his heart; and therefore he applies to the Lord to bring him out of his afflicted circumstances, in which he was penned up, as in a strait place, on every side, and which were such that he could not free himself from; but he knew that God could deliver him.

h הרחיבו "dilataverunt cor meum", Vatablus; "reddiderunt cor meum latius", Gussetius, p. 786. i ממצוקותי "ab angustiis meis", Pagninus, Junius Tremellius so Musculus, Piscator, Michaelis.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The troubles of my heart - The sorrows which spring upon the heart - particularly from the recollections of sin.

Are enlarged - Have become great. They increased the more he reflected on the sins of his life.

O bring thou me out of my distresses - Alike from my sins, and from the dangers which surround me. These two things, external trouble and the inward consciousness of guilt, are not infrequently combined. Outward trouble has a tendency to bring up the remembrance of past transgressions, and to suggest the inquiry whether the affliction is not a divine visitation for sin. Any one source of sorrow may draw along numerous others in its train. The laws of association are such that when the mind rests on one source of joy, and is made cheerful by that, numerous other blessings will be suggested to increase the joy; and when one great sorrow has taken possession of the soul, all the lesser sorrows of the past life cluster around it, so that we seem to ourselves to be wholly abandoned by God and by man.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 25:17. The troubles of may heart are enlarged — The evils of our captive state, instead of lessening, seem to multiply, and each to be extended.
