Psalms 56:12,13 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Thy vows are upon me As I have prayed to thee, and am assured that thou wilt deliver me, so, in confidence thereof, I have made vows to express my gratitude to thee, and I acknowledge myself obliged thereby, and do resolve to perform them. For thou hast delivered my soul from death Which my enemies designed to bring upon me, and of which I was in extreme danger. Wilt thou not deliver my feet from falling? I am confident that thou wilt, because of thy promises, and my former experience; that I may walk before God That I may please, serve, and glorify thee, which is the great end for which I desire life; in the light of the living In this life here, which is opposed to the death last mentioned; and in heaven hereafter.

Psalms 56:12-13

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

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?
