(120) Trembleth.--The original is far stronger. Better, as in Job 4:15, the hair of my flesh stands up. So Symmachus.

Verse 120. - My flesh trembleth for fear of thee (comp. Isaiah 6:5; Jeremiah 23:9; Habakkuk 3:16), And I am afraid of thy judgments. Thy "judgments" upon the wicked cause me to shudder with fear.
