Psalm 66:9 Which holds our soul in life, and suffers not our feet to be moved. Now, in these words we notice — I. THE LIFE. "He holdeth our soul in life." This is — 1. A life of purity in opposition to sin. 2. Of plenty in opposition to a life of poverty. 3. Of godly exercise, or exercise unto godliness. 4. Of pleasing discovery. II. THE PRESERVATION. "He holdeth," etc. This applies to all the four ideas adverted to. III. THE FIXATION. "He suffereth not our feet to be moved." Now, how is it our feet cannot be moved finally? Why, because we have, in salvation matters, "a covenant ordered in all things and sure." (James Wells.) Parallel Verses KJV: Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.WEB: who preserves our life among the living, and doesn't allow our feet to be moved. |
