SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:29
Y el rey jurķ, diciendo: Vive el SEŅOR, que ha redimido mi alma de toda angustia,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. And the king sware , etc.] To his former oath, he added another for greater confirmation: and said, [as] the Lord liveth ; which was the proper form of an oath, which ought to be taken by the living God; and as what would lay him under the greater obligation to observe it, he adds, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress ; saved his life when in the most imminent danger; delivered him out of the hand of Goliath, and from the Philistines and other enemies, in his wars with them; and from Saul and his persecuting rage and fury, and from the rebellion of his son Absalom, and the insurrection of Sheba.
Matthew Henry Commentary

Such as this is the counse Christ's ministers give us in his name, to give all diligence, not onl that no man take our crown, Re 3:11, but that we save our lives, eve the lives of our souls. David made a solemn declaration of his fir cleaving to his former resolution, that Solomon should be his successor. Even the recollection of the distresses from which the Lor redeemed him, increased his comfort, inspired his hopes, and animate him to his duty, under the decays of nature and the approach of death.
