Psalms 114:9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

Living. In Judea, which is opposed to Babylon, the region of tears and of death, ver. 8., and Psalm 55:13. In a spiritual sense, the Fathers understand heaven, where the blessed cannot forfeit their felicity. (Calmet) --- I will strive to please God among the faithful, who live in grace and glory. (Worthington) --- Christ here promises the propagation of the gospel. (Houbigant) (2 Corinthians 5:8.) (Berthier)
