EXPLANATION

Verse 6. or Hebrew Psalm 116. Verse 15. Precious. I am ready even to make a sacrifice of my life, if God’s glory should require it; for he esteems the death of the saints. Worthington. Bert.—He will not easily abandon them to destruction in this world, as the Hebrew implies, ( Tirinus. Calmet.) though this meaning is not certain, nor verified by facts; the just being often slain by the wicked. Bert.—God rewards the sufferings of his servants; ( Calmet.) the psalmist will not therefore be deterred from paying his vows by the fear of death. Menochius.
