And the Lord will give thee rest continually, and will fill thy soul with brightness, and deliver thy bones, and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a fountain of water whose waters shall not fail.
Ibn Ezra
And the Lord shall guide thee continually. He will be with thee, wherever thou goest. בצחצחות In drought. Comp. צחא is dry (5:13). It is the opposite of fulness. יחליץ Some declare it to be hap. leg., and explain it he will make fat; others render it he will strengthen, comparing it with חלוצי armed (Num. 31:5); others still think that יַחֲלִיץ and יְחַלֵּץ he delivereth (Job 36:15) are the same in meaning; as is the case with יַשְׁלִיחַ (Ex. 8:17) and יְשַׁלַּח he sendeth (Ps. 78:45), with יַשְֹמִיחַ (Ps. 89:43), and יְשַֹמַּח he gladdeneth (Lam. 2:17). This latter explanation is right; comp. He keepeth all his bones, not one of them is broken (Ps. 34:21); ועצמתיו יחליץ means, therefore, He delivereth his bones from the danger of being broken. לא יכזבו Fail not, are not cut off; comp. כזב leasing (Ps. 4:3), a thing that cannot last but by chance.
