Jerome's Latin Vulgate (405)
span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.119.1" class="versetxt"> Canticum graduum. [Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi,
et exaudivit me.
Domine, libera animam meam a labiis iniquis
et a lingua dolosa.
Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi
ad linguam dolosam?
Sagittæ potentis acutæ,
cum carbonibus desolatoriis.
Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est!
habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar;
multum incola fuit anima mea.
Cum his qui oderunt pacem eram pacificus;
cum loquebar illis, impugnabant me gratis.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I [am] thy servant,.... Not only by creation, but by grace; and as he had a work to do, he desires to know what it was; and as it was proper he should know his Master's will, he applies to him for it; using this as an argument, that he was his servant, devoted to his service, and willing to perform it to the best of his knowledge and ability; and therefore prays,

give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies; the Scriptures, which testify of the will of God; which are only rightly understood by those who have their understandings opened and enlightened; or have an understanding given them, that they may understand them, so as to receive and embrace the doctrine, and do the precepts of them: and such an understanding is the gift of God, and owing to his powerful and efficacious grace; see Luke 24:45.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I am thy servant - See the notes at Psalms 116:16.

Give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies - Since I am thy servant, instruct me in the knowledge of thy will. As I desire to obey thee, show me what will be acceptable obedience, or what thou dost require in order to acceptable service. This is a prayer of piety. A man who sincerely desires to obey God will make it a first point to ascertain what is his will, or what will constitute true obedience.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 119:125. I am thy servant — See on Psalms 119:94.
