On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

His spirit was overwhelmed, and he looked upon himself as a lost man; see Ps. cxvi. The more earnest we have been with God for deliverance, and the more direct answer it is to our prayers, the more we are obliged to be thankful.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

death--and hell (compare Ps 16:10) are personified as man's great enemies (compare Re 20:13, 14). prevented--encountered me, crossed my path, and endangered my safety. He does not mean he was in their power.
