From death; which my enemies designed, and my extreme dangers threatened. I am confident that thou wilt deliver, because of thy promises, and my former experience.

That I may walk before God, i.e. that I may please, and serve, and glorify thee, as this phrase implies, Gen_5:24, compared with Heb_11:5, as also Gen_6:9 17:1 1Sa_2:30; which is the great end for which I desire life.

In the light of the living: either,

1. In heaven. Or rather,

2. In this life, which is here opposed to the death last mentioned, as it is Job_33:30, which is called light, Job_3:20, as death is called darkness, Job_10:21,22, and oft elsewhere, and which is expressed by beholding the light and the sun, Ecc_11:7.
