(164) Seven times.--Some commentators think the number is used here only in a general way for "often," "repeatedly;" but the number seven evidently had some sacred association for the Hebrews. (Comp. Leviticus 26:18; Proverbs 24:16; Matthew 18:21, &c) No doubt the seven canonical hours were partly derived from this verse. Elsewhere we find three times as the stated occasions of prayer (Psalm 55:17).Verse 164. - Seven times a day do I praise thee; i.e. repeatedly, an indefinite number of times (comp. Psalm 12:6; Psalm 79:11; Proverbs 24:16). Because of thy righteous judgments (comp. vers. 137, 160). Psalm 119:164 pictures a life punctuated by intentional, personal, vocal praise, rooted in confidence that every verdict, command, and action of God is flawlessly right.
