Gill's Notes on the Bible
Order my steps in thy word,.... Or, "by thy word" s, or "according" to it. Which is the rule of practice and action, as well as of faith; and happy are they who walk according to the directions of it; but it is not in the power of man to order and direct his steps: this is done by the Lord; and such who acknowledge him in their ways, and apply to him for direction, are and shall be thus favoured by him; see Jeremiah 10:23;
and let not any iniquity have dominion over me; not only greater sins or presumptuous ones, very gross iniquities, as in Psalms 19:13; but lesser ones, even the least of them. It is a sad thing to be enslaved to any lust or sin, be it what it will: sin reigns over wicked men even unto death; and it oftentimes has great power over good men, puts them upon doing that which is evil, and hinders them from doing that which is good; it carries them captive, and threatens to have the ascendant over them, and rule in them, which they deprecate; and such a prayer may be the prayer of faith, since it is promised "sin shall not have the dominion over you", Romans 6:14. Kimchi interprets this of the evil imagination or corruption of nature; R. Moses understands it of a wicked man; and so the Syriac version.
s באמרתך "eloquio tuo", Tigurine version; "secundum eloquium tuum", Musculus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Order my steps in thy word - My goings, or, my conduct and life - by thy word; according to thy requirements. Let me be wholly obedient to thy will.
And let not any iniquity have dominion over me - See the notes at Psalms 19:13. The prayer is, that no form of sin, that no wicked passion or propensity, might be allowed to rule over him. He who is willing that any one sin should rule in his heart, though he should be free from all other forms of sin, cannot be a pious man. See the notes at James 2:10.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 119:133. Order my steps — הכן hachen, make them firm; let me not walk with a halting or unsteady step.
Have dominion over me. — בי bi, IN me. Let me have no governor but God; let the throne of my heart be filled by him, and none other.
