Psalms118:17
17 I shall not die , but live, and declare the works of the LORD .
To wit, so soon as mine enemies desire, nor by their sword, as they hope and endeavour.
One branch whereof is the total destruction of mine enemies. He implies that he did not desire life, nor should employ it, as his enemies did theirs, but for the service and glory of God.
