Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

Who delivered us from so great a death. "From so great dangers," according to the Latin. The meaning is the same. Ambrose reads "from so great deaths." The Hebrews are wont to apply the name of death to great dangers, violent persecutions, grief, and agony that are akin to death, and that seem to threaten a speedy death. So Chrysostom. Cf. Psalm 18:5, and 2 Corinthians 11:23.
