I will live

Psalm 118:17-18 (JDV)

Psalm 118:17 I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what Yahveh has done.
Psalm 118:18 Yahveh disciplined me severely yet did not give me over to death.

I will live

David and the Messiah after him say this for different reasons. David said it because God rescued him from the threat of death. The Messiah says it because God rescued us all from death through him. The resurrection of Jesus was God’s work and his promise to us all.
