ExplanationCommentary
Verse 15. Call. Prayer is a perfect act of religion, and a confession of God’s dominion.
Qui fingit sacros auro vel marmore vultus,
Non facit ille Deos: qui rogat, ille facit. Mart. viii. verse 24.
To neglect prayer is, in some sense, to deny God. Calmet.—He is pleased to exercise our confidence, ( Bible.) and will have us to call upon him in distress. Menochius.
Sheol is the place of the dead.
