Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

JFB: Psa 116:5-8

The relief which he asked is the result not of his merit, but of God's known pity and tenderness, which is acknowledged in assuring himself (his "soul," Psa 11:1; Psa 16:10) of rest and peace. All calamities [Psa 116:8] are represented by death, tears, and falling of the feet (Psa 56:13).

Clarke: Psa 116:8 - Thou hast delivered my soul from death

Thou hast delivered my soul from death - Thou hast rescued my life from the destruction to which it was exposed

Clarke: Psa 116:8 - Mine eyes from tears

Mine eyes from tears - Thou hast turned my sorrow into joy

Clarke: Psa 116:8 - My feet from falling

My feet from falling - Thou hast taken me out of the land of snares and pitfalls, and brought me into a plain path. How very near does our ancient mother tongue come to this: For thou he nerode sawle mine of deathe, eapan mine of tearum; fet mine of slide. And this language is but a little improved in the old Psalter: -

For he toke my saule fra dede; my eghen fra teres; my fete fra slippyng.

TSK: Psa 116:8 - For thou // mine // and my feet

For thou : Psa 56:13, Psa 86:13

mine : Isa 25:8, Isa 38:5; Rev 7:17, Rev 21:4

and my feet : Psa 37:24, Psa 94:18; Jdg 1:24

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Psa 116:8 - My soul // From falling

My soul myself.

From falling to wit, into mischief, and the pit of destruction.

Gill: Psa 116:8 - For thou hast delivered my soul from death // mine eyes from tears // And my feet from falling

For thou hast delivered my soul from death,.... From a corporeal death, when his life was in danger, surrounded by Saul's army, in the hand of the Philistines at Gath, and when his son rebelled against him; and from a spiritual death in regeneration, which is a passing from death to life; and from an eternal death, the just wages of sin: and not only so, but even

mine eyes from tears; they were sometimes full of, and shed in great plenty; he watered his couch with them; and especially when absent from the worship of the Lord, and without his presence, which his enemies sometimes reproached him with; and particularly when he fled before his rebellious son, and at the death of him; but God dried up all his tears; see Psa 6:6. Many are the occasions of the saints weeping as they pass through the valley of "Baca", but God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.

And my feet from falling through a "push" ^l, by an enemy, so as to fall; the people of God are liable to falling, both into sin and into calamity; it is the Lord only that keeps them; and which they may expect from their interest in his love, covenant, and promises, and from their being in the hands of Christ; see Psa 56:13.
