Gill's Notes on the Bible
I am afflicted very much,.... In a temporal sense, in his body, in his family, and by his enemies; in a spiritual sense, with the corruptions of his heart, with the temptations of Satan, and with the hidings of God's face; and what with one thing or another, he was pressed above measure, and his spirits sunk under the weight of the affliction, so that he was as a dead man; and therefore prays,
quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word;
:-.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I am afflicted very much - The form of the affliction is not mentioned. There are frequent allusions in the psalm to the fact that the author was and had been afflicted - as, in fact, must be the case in the life of every good man. Compare Psalms 119:71, Psalms 119:75. If David was the author of the psalm, we know that there were numerous occasions in his life when this language would be appropriate. As designed for the people of God at all times, it was important that there should be these allusions to affliction.
Quicken me ... - Make me live; give me life and vigor, that I may bear up under my trials. See the notes at Psalms 119:25.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 119:107. I am afflicted very much — עד מאד ad meod, "to extremity, excessively." We are in the most oppressive captivity.
Quicken me — Deliver us from our bondage.
