I deny not, but that this acknowledgement of Gods ancient kindness to himself in particular may be referred to the argument indefinitely set down in the former verse, and here added as an application thereof. For, having indefinitely noted how the death of Gods favourites was precious in his sight: here he giveth instance thereof in himself, and saith, I am Gods servant: and my death was precious to him: for he loosed my bands. This reference is not impertinent. But I take this for another distinct argument, rather then for an application, or confirmation of the former.
