Psalms 119:73 - Exposition

Thy hands have made me and fashioned me (comp. Psalms 100:3 ; Psalms 138:8 ; Psalms 139:14 ). The "fundamental passage" is Deuteronomy 32:6 ; but the present psalmist seems to follow Job 10:8 . Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. If thou hast done so much for me, wilt thou not do more? Without "understanding" this body that thou hast given me is nothing worth (comp. verse 34).
