Psalms 56:13 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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?

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling - through the assault of mine enemies. The interrogation strongly confirms the entreaty (cf. Psalms 56:8, end; also. Genesis 13:9).

That I may walk before God in the light of the living? - i:e., among the living (Job 33:30; in Ps. 28:13 , "in the land of the living;" 116:9). "Before God;" i:e., in a way pleasing to God, and under His gracious guidance and care (Genesis 17:1; Genesis 17:18; Psalms 36:9: cf. Isaiah 9:2; John 12:35).
