Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - He sent his word. and healed them; rather, he sends Ms word, and heals them (see the Revised Version). The "word" intended may be a message sent by a human messenger, like the "word" sent to Hezekiah in. his sickness (2 Kings 20:4; Isaiah 38:4); or it may be a thought suggested to the mind either directly by God, or by an angel, like that spoken of in Job 33:23, 24; or, lastly, it may be the actual Word of God (John 1:1), the Son, sent by the Father. But this last sense can scarcely have been in the writer's mind. And delivered them from their destructions; or, "from their grave-pits" (Kay, Cheyne). The word used occurs only here and in Lain. 4:20, where it is translated "pits."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) He sent His word.--In history (see Psalm 105:19), as in the natural world (Psalm 147:18), God's word is His messenger. (Comp. Isaiah 55:10-11.)Destructions.--This follows the LXX., who derive as in Psalm 103:4. A better derivation, however, gives "pits," either with metaphorical allusion to the "depths" of suffering, or literally, of the "graves" to which the sufferers had drawn near.
