Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Faith and prayer must go together, for the prayer of faith is the prevailing prayer. David gave up his soul in a special manner to God And with the words, ver. 5, our Lord Jesus yielded up his last breat on the cross, and made his soul a free-will offering for sin, layin down his life as a ransom. But David is here as a man in distress an trouble. And his great care is about his soul, his spirit, his bette part. Many think that while perplexed about their worldly affairs, an their cares multiply, they may be excused if they neglect their souls but we are the more concerned to look to our souls, that, though the outward man perish, the inward man may suffer no damage. The redemptio of the soul is so precious, that it must have ceased for ever, in Christ had not undertaken it. Having relied on God's mercy, he will be glad and rejoice in it. God looks upon our souls, when we are i trouble, to see whether they are humbled for sin, and made better by the affliction. Every believer will meet with such dangers an deliverances, until he is delivered from death, his last enemy.
