Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Isa 38:16
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Isa 38:16 · Douay-Rheims
“O Lord, if man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live.”
On this verse:
“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].”
