From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I am thy servant -See the notes atPsalms 116:16. Give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies -Since I am thy servant, instruct me in the knowledge of thy will. As I desire to obey thee, show me what will be acceptable obedience, or what thou dost require in order to acceptable service. This is a prayer of piety. A man who sincerely desires to obey God will make it a first point to ascertain what is his will, or what will constitute true obedience.
