Salmos 116:8 RVA

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 116:1-9

In this part of the psalm we have, I. A general account of David's experience, and his pious resolutions (Ps. 116:1, 2), which are as the contents of the whole psalm, and give an idea of it. 1. He had experienced God's goodness to him in answer to prayer: He has heard my voice and my supplications. David, in straits, had humbly and earnestly begged mercy of God, and God had heard him, that is, had graciously accepted his prayer, taken cognizance of his case, and granted him an answer of peace.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 116:8

For thou hast delivered my soul from death ,.... From a corporeal death, when his life was in danger, surrounded by Saul's army, in the hand of the Philistines at Gath, and when his son rebelled against him; and from a spiritual death in regeneration, which is a passing from death to life; and from an eternal death, the just wages of sin: and not only so, but even mine eyes from tears ; they were sometimes full of, and shed in great plenty; he watered his couch with them; and especially... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 116:8

Thou hast delivered my soul from death - Thou hast rescued my life from the destruction to which it was exposed. Mine eyes from tears - Thou hast turned my sorrow into joy. My feet from falling - Thou hast taken me out of the land of snares and pitfalls, and brought me into a plain path. How very near does our ancient mother tongue come to this: For thou he nerode sawle mine of deathe, eapan mine of tearum; fet mine of slide. And this language is but a little improved in the old... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 116:1-19

Danger and deliverance. It is probable that the danger to which the psalmist was exposed was due to a very serious illness, threatening to end in death. It is certain that this is the most common danger we have to confront now. We look, therefore, at— I. A RECURRING EVIL IN OUR MORTAL LIFE — SICKNESS . With so complicated a structure as the human frame, and so intricate a system as that which has to be kept in working order, if we are to be in perfect health, it is no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 116:7-8

God works in our human lives. It seems as if God had not done some thing for the psalmist which he wanted him to do; and this troubled the psalmist, and filled him with doubts. He found consolation in thinking how much God had done for him. If he could not see God in a particular circumstance, he could see God in his life. The varied movements in a factory are quite bewildering to us, but the master knows, and guides them all to ends of his fashioning. I. GOD 'S DELIVERANCE FROM... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 116:8

For thou hast delivered my soul from death . This verse is exegetical of the last clause of Psalms 116:4 . The expressions are taken from Psalms 56:13 , and suit a personal better than a national deliverance. Mine eyes from tears. Hezekiah, when told that his death was approaching, had "wept sore" ( Isaiah 38:3 ). And my feet from falling ; literally, and my foot from slipping When man is greatly tried, there is always danger lest his foot should slip. Whether the trial befall an... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 116:8

For thou hast delivered my soul from death - My life. Thou hast saved me from death. This is such language as would be used by one who had been dangerously ill, and who had been restored again to health.Mine eyes from tears - Tears which he had shed in his sickness, and in the apprehension of dying. It may refer to tears shed on other occasions, but it is most natural to refer it to this. Compare the notes at Psalms 6:6.And my feet from falling - From stumbling. That is, he had not, as it were,... read more
