Psalms 116:7 - Exposition

Return unto thy rest, O my soul. "Return," i . e ; "to thy state of tranquility, the condition in which thou wast before the imminent danger showed itself." For the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee . If Hezekiah is the writer, the "bountiful dealing" will be the addition of fifteen years to his life ( Isaiah 38:5 ). If a poet just re turned from the Captivity, the return and the reoccupation of the Holy Land will be especially in his thoughts (comp. Psalms 85:1 ).
