Psalms 116:5-8

The relief which he asked is the result not of his merit, but of God's known pity and tenderness, which is acknowledged in assuring himself (his "soul," Psalms 11:1; Psalms 16:10) of rest and peace. All calamities [Psalms 116:8] are represented by death, tears, and falling of the feet (Psalms 56:13).
