My soul cleaves to the dust; revive me according to Your word.

Psalms 119:25, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

The speaker is the psalmist, an unnamed servant of the LORD who has just confessed his longing for God's judgments (verse 20) and now describes a condition close to death. "My soul cleaves to the dust" is a vivid image of being pressed down to the ground, laid low by grief, opposition or the nearness of the grave.
