Psalms 119:109. My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
He lived in the midst of danger. He had to be always fighting for existence - hiding in caves, or contending in battles. This is a very uncomfortable and trying state of affairs, and men are apt to think any expedient justifiable by which they can end such a condition, but David did not turn aside to find safety in sin. They say that all things are fair in love and war; but the holy man thought not so: while he carried his life in his hand, he also carried the law in his heart.
