by these - namely, by God’s benefits, which are implied in the context (Isa 38:15, “He hath Himself done it” “unto me”). All “men live by these” benefits (Psa 104:27-30), “and in all these is the life of my spirit,” that is, I also live by them (Deu 8:3).
and (wilt) make me to live - The Hebrew is imperative, “make me to live.” In this view he adds a prayer to the confident hope founded on his comparative convalescence, which he expressed, “Thou wilt recover me” [Maurer].
