“I had fainted, vnlesse I had beleeued to see the goodnesse of the Lord in the land of the liuing.”
1611 King James Version (KJV)
27:13 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.
