Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And let our hearts be thus affected in singing this psalm. Encouragement in Prayers. 1 The L ORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the L ORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

(2.) In the land of Canaan, and in Jerusalem where the lively oracles were. In comparison with the heathen, that were dead in sin, the land of Israel might fitly be called the land of the living; there God was known, and there David hoped to see his goodness; see 2 Sam. xv. It is that alone that may truly be called the land of the living, where there is no more death.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

The living - David was thus earnestly desirous of this mercy in this life, not because he placed his portion in these things; but because the truth and glory of God, were highly concerned in making good the promise of the kingdom to him.
