Footnotes

  1. 116:9 The land of the living: the phrase elsewhere is an epithet of the Jerusalem Temple (cf. Ps 27:13; 52:5; Is 38:11). Hence the psalmist probably refers to being present to God in the Temple.
  2. 116:10 I kept faith, even when I said: even in the days of despair, the psalmist did not lose all hope.
