Salmi 66:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 66:9

Which holdeth our soul in life
Or, "putteth our soul in life" F2, or "among the living", which is not to be understood of infusing a living soul in man, nor of the preservation of natural life, which is common to all men; but of appointing and ordaining them unto eternal life, as the Targum; and of procuring it for them by Christ; and of implanting a principle of spiritual life in them, by his Spirit and grace; and of the preservation of the principle of life, that it be not lost; and of giving them a right and title to eternal life, and that itself: all which are a sufficient reason, and powerful argument, to bless our God, and praise his name. It follows:

and suffereth not our feet to be moved;
that is, not to be greatly moved; or if moved so as to slip and fall, yet not so as to fall finally and totally; see ( Psalms 55:22 ) ( Psalms 56:12 Psalms 56:13 ) .

Salmi 66:9 In-Context

7 Egli, con la sua potenza, signoreggia in eterno; i suoi occhi osservan le nazioni; i ribelli non facciano i superbi! Sela.
8 Benedite il nostro Dio, o popoli, e fate risonar la voce della sua lode!
9 Egli ha conservato in vita l’anima nostra, non ha permesso che il nostro piè vacillasse.
10 Poiché tu ci hai provati, o Dio, ci hai passati al crogiuolo come l’argento.
11 Ci hai fatti entrar nella rete, hai posto un grave peso sulle nostre reni.
