Psalms 35:13

13. prayer . . . bosom—may denote either the posture—the head bowed—(compare 1Ki 18:42) —or, that the prayer was in secret. Some think there is a reference to the result—the prayer would benefit him if not them.

Psalms 105:18

18. hurt with fetters— (Ge 40:3).

was laid in iron—literally, "his soul" (see on Ps 16:10), or, "he came into iron," or, he was bound to his grief (compare Ps 3:2; 11:1). The "soul" is put for the whole person, because the soul of the captive suffers still more than the body. Joseph is referred to as being an appropriate type of those "bound in affliction and iron" (Ps 107:10).
