Psalms 119:73

Thy hands have made me -This commences a new division of the psalm, in which each verse begins with the Hebrew letterJod(יy) - or “i” - the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet, called inMatthew 5:18, “jot;” “one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from the law.” The words “thy hands have made me” are expressive of the idea that he had been formed or moulded by God - as the “hands” are the instruments by which we do anything. See the notes atJob 10:8; comparePsalms 100:3. And fashioned me -Fitted me; shaped me, formed me as I am. He had received alike his existence and the particular form of his existence from God - as a man makes a statue or image. ComparePsalms 139:13-16.
