Ellicott's Commentary for English

Readers
(20) He is thy life, and the length of thy
days.--This is the Old Testament form of a well-
known saying in the New Testament, which
may yet be fulfilled in Israel, "I am the
resurrection and the life. He that believeth in
me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and
whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall
never die" (John 11:25-26).

Pulpit Commentary
Verse 20. - For he is thy life; rather, for this is
thy life; to love the Lord is really to live the
true, the higher life (cf. Deuteronomy 4:40;
Deuteronomy 32:47).
