He will deliver his soul from going into the pit.
He will deliver his soule from going into the pit.
The words are an assertion of the favour and goodness of God to the penitent sick man; He (that is, God) looketh upon men, and if he hear any saying, I have sinned and perverted that which is right, and it profiteth me not, if he make such an humble and gracious confession, this will be the issue; the Lord will deliver his soul from going into the pit. At the 18th verse, we had words of the same import; He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. And again, at the 24th verse, Deliver him from going down to the pit. To be delivered from the pit (as was there showed) is to be delivered from death. And the word soul (as was then likewise expounded) is put for the person; As if it were said; He will deliver him, the penitent man from death; and that both from temporal death, the death of the body, and from eternal death, the destruction of body and soul; or he will deliver him first from the pit of the grave; and secondly, from the pit of hell. He will deliver his soul from the pit.
