Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - The Lord preserveth the simple; i.e. "the simple-minded" - those who are without guile or artifice (comp. Psalm 19:7). I was brought low. The same verb is used here as in Isaiah 38:14, where it is translated "fail" ("mine eyes fail"). It expresses extreme weakness, or exhaustion. And he helped me; or, "saved me" (comp. Isaiah 38:20).
