Job 10:12 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thy visitation hath preserved my spirit - Thy constant care; thy watchful providence; thy superintendence. The word rendered visitation (פקדה peqûddâh) means properly the mustering of an army, the care that is manifested in looking after those who are enlisted; and then denotes care, vigilance, providence, custody, watch. The idea is, that God had watched over him and preserved him, and that to his constant vigilance he owed the preservation of his life.

Job 10:12

12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
