Psalms 39:1
Jeduthun <03038> [A.M. 2970. B.C. 1034. (Title.) Jeduthun.]
Jeduthun, probably the same as Ethan, 1 Ch 6:44, was one of the sons of Merari, and is supposed to have been one the four masters of music, or leaders of bands, belonging to the temple service. It is therefore probable that David, having composed this Psalm, gave it to Jeduthun and his company to sing; and it is very likely, that it was written on the same occasion as the preceding.

sin <02398> [that I.]

Psalms 141:3
guard <07896 08108> [Set a watch.]
Genesis 30:1
Rachel <07354> [when Rachel.]
Rachel ............ jealous <07065 07354> [Rachel envied.]
Envy and jealousy are most tormenting passions to the breast which harbours them, vexatious to all around, and introductory to much impatience and ungodliness. "Who is able to stand before envy?"
I'll die <0369 04191> [or else I die.]
Genesis 35:16-18
some distance away ... went <03530 0776 0935> [a little way to come. Heb. a little piece of ground.]

<05315> [A.M. cir. 2275. B.C. cir. 1729. her soul.]
Ben-Oni <01126> [Ben-oni. i.e., the son of my sorrow.]
Benjamin <01144> [Benjamin. i.e., the son of my right hand.]
The Samaritan has {ben yamim,} "the son of days," i.e., of his old age, (ch. 44:20,) which Jerome renders Benjamin, {id est, filius dextrae, Benjamin,} that is, "the son of the right hand."
Job 2:10
talking ......... do <01696> [Thou speakest.]
one <0259> [as one.]
receive .......... receive <06901> [shall we receive.]
Job <0347> [In all this.]
Job 38:2
Job 40:4-5

Job 42:7-8
Eliphaz <0464> [Eliphaz.]
anger ....................... servant <0639 05650> [My.]
spoken ........................... spoken <01696> [ye have.]
take <03947> [Therefore.]
From this it appears that Job was considered as a priest, not only to his own family, but also to others. For his children he offered burnt offerings, (ch. 1:5,) and now he is to make the same kind of offerings, accompanied with intercession, in behalf of his three friends. This is a full proof of the innocence and integrity of Job.
