He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.
Ver. 2. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit] E puteo sonitus, ut Isaiah 51:14, out of a noiseful pit, where there is a continual hurry by the great tall of waters into it: he meaneth out of dreadful dangers, out of a desperate disease, saith R. Obadiah; who also by rock here understandeth perfect health, Sanitatem in corpore, sanctitatem in corde.
Out of the miry clay] E luto, luto, saith Kimchi, for here are two words used of one and the same sense; to show that, as a bemired beast, he was in a perishing condition till God pulled him out, and set him on firm ground.
And established my goings] That I might not relapse into the same or fall into another malady or mischief.
