6 116:6 In Jewish tradition this became a common saying to explain how some people could do ill-advised things and not suffer for them. The Lord protects the simple (childlike);
I was brought low [humbled and discouraged], and He saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. [Matt 11:29]
8 For You have rescued my life from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from stumbling and falling.
9 I will walk [in submissive wonder] before the Lord
In the land of the living.
