Apesar da angústia e da tribulação que caíram sobre mim, vossos mandamentos continuam a ser minhas delícias.
Salmos 119:143
Comentário de Albert Barnes
Trouble and anguish – The word rendered “trouble” means affliction of any kind; the word rendered “anguish” would probably express that which results from being pressed, compressed, straitened. It properly refers to a situation where there is no room to move, and where we are pent up in a narrow place. The two words denote deep affliction.
Have taken hold on me – Margin, as in Hebrew, “found me.” That is, they were in pursuit of me, and have at last apprehended me. Trouble, anguish, death, are in pursuit of us all our lives, and are never very far in the rear of us. Often, when we least expect them, they come suddenly up to us, and make us their victims.
Yet thy commandments are my delights – Notwithstanding this trouble, and in this trouble – no matter what comes – I have the same unfailing source of comfort, the truth of God; and notwithstanding what may occur, I still make God and his law the source of my happiness. See the notes at Psalm 119:24 .

Comentário de Adam Clarke
Problemas e angústia – sou exercitado com várias provações de homens e demônios.
Agarraram-se a mim – Mas ainda assim me apego ao meu Deus e estou encantado com a sua lei.
Comentário de John Wesley
Angústia e angústia se apoderaram de mim; contudo, teus mandamentos são minhas delícias.
Problemas – problemas externos e angústia de espírito.
