From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

All my bones shall say -A similar expression occurs inPsalms 51:8: “That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.” The “bones” are here put for the frame; the whole man. See the notes atPsalms 32:3. The idea is, that he had been crushed and overborne with trouble and danger, so that his very frame - that which sustained him - had given way. He says now that if God would interpose in the manner which he prays for, he would be relieved of the insupportable burden, and his whole nature would rejoice. Who is like unto thee -Who can bring deliverance like God. Compare the notes atIsaiah 40:18. “Which deliverest the poor,” etc. Who rescues the poor from the hand of the mighty.
