Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 119:109

The soul's life in jeopardy. The life of the soul secured.

Ver. 109-110. Here is,

1. David in danger of losing his life. There is but a step between him and death; for "the wicked have laid a snare" for him. Wherever he was he found some design or other laid against him; which made him say, "My soul is continually in my hand." It was not so only as a man it is true of us all that we are exposed to the strokes of death but as a man of war, and especially as "a man after God's own heart."

2. David in no danger of losing his religion through this peril; for,

(a) He "doth not forget the law, "and therefore is likely to persevere.

(b) He hath not yet erred from God's precepts, and therefore it is to be hoped he will not. M. Henry.
