Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, [as out] of the middle of a sling.
Ver. 29. Shall be bound in the bundle of life.] Thy person shall be preciously preserved by God's special care and providence. Psa 116:15 A metaphor, say some, from binding up of plants that are to be removed, and laid in water, to preserve them till they shall be set in God's paradise; or from the binding up of a book; so here. The saints are bound up together in the book of life.
Them shall he sling out.] Here God tosseth wicked men's souls with cares, fears, and griefs, rendering them restless, and at length hurleth them into hell, as far off him as is possible. Metophora a re praesenti, saith Junius, a metaphor from the slings and other arms of David and his men.
