Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 116:9

9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living .

Or, I shall walk, &c. This is either, 1. the Psalmists promise to God in requital of the favour last mentioned, I will therefore please God, as this phrase is used Gen. 5. 24. comp. with Heb. 11. 5. Gen. 17. 1. I will devote my self to the worship and service of God. Or, 2. his thankful acknowledgment of Gods further favour. Though I be now banished from the place of thy presence and worship, yet I assure my self that I shall be restored to it, and shall spend my days in thy house and service, which is the one thing that I desired above all other things, Psal. 27. 4.

Amongst living men in this world. See on Psal. 27. 13.
