Commentary on Psalms 116:15

Theological / Devotional

Death of his saints. The Lord does not regard with indifference the death of His saints (see Matt. 10:29–39). Guardian angels accompany the saints through the valley of the shadow of death, mark their resting places, and are the first to greet them in the glorious resurrection morning. It is said that many of the persecuted Christians in the early church went to martyrdom repeating this verse and that its message buoyed up their courage as they passed into the dark valley.
