I would have fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
All Commentaries on Psalms 27:13 Go To Psalms 27
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
I. Hebrew, "But I believe that I shall see. "(St. Jerome)
"I had fainted, unless "(Protestants) (Haydock)
Living, or of promise, as this country is often designated, (Muis; Tirinus; Du Pin; Calmet) or rather in heaven, (Berthier; Menochius) where death shall be no more. (Haydock)
The Fathers explain it in this more elevated sense. (Calmet)
The just are comforted by God, and by the hope of heavenly rewards. (Worthington)
The land of the living may be opposed to the grave, where none can worship God. (Haydock)
