a large place--denotes safety or relief, as contrasted with the straits of distress (Psa 4:1). All his deliverance is ascribed to God, and this sublime poetical representation is given to inspire the pious with confidence and the wicked with dread. |

Because he delighted in me - He saw that my cause was just, and he had favor toward me. |
