Chapters 113-115 serve as an introduction which speak of God's individual providence.  The end of psalm 115 and part of 116 speak of his illness (אֲפָפוּנִי חֶבְלֵי מָוֶת וּמְצָרֵי שְׁאוֹל מְצָאוּנִי ) while psalms 116-117 speak of the salvation.  Psalm 118 then backtracks to speak of both.</point> |
