Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 56:13

13. For thou hast delivered my soul from death : wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling , that I may walk before God in the light of the living ?

Which my Enemies designed, and my extream Dangers threatned.

I am Confident that thou wilt deliver, because of thy Promises, and my former Experience.

(i. e.) That I may please and serve, and Glorifie thee, as this Phrase implies, Gen. 5. 24. Comp. with Heb. 11. 5. as also, Gen. 6. 9. and 17. 1, 1 Sam. 2. 30. which is the great End for which I desire Life.

Either, 1. In Heaven. Or rather, 2. In this Life, which is here opposed to the Death last mentioned, as it is, Iob 33. 30. which is called Light, Iob 3. 20. as Death is called Darkness, Iob 10. 21, 22. and o[illegible: 1+ letters]t elsewhere, and which is expressed, by beholding the Light, and the Sun, E[illegible: 1+ letters]eles. 11. 7.
