“I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.”
King James Version (KJV)
18:1 Love - Most affectionately, and with my whole soul; as the Hebrew word signifies.
18:2 Rock - To which I flee for refuge, as the Israelites did to their rocks. Horn - It is a metaphor from those beasts whose strength lies in their horns.
18:4 Death - Dangerous and deadly troubles. Floods - Their multitude, and strength, and violent assaults, breaking in upon me like a flood.
18:5 Sorrows - Which brought me to the brink of the grave. Death - Had almost taken hold of me, before I was aware.
