Where's the examination, the consideration? Where's the careful weighing? And why was the "rich ministry of Witness Lee", such an allegorical bonanza elsewhere, such a dry hole when he came to the Psalms? Unable to see Jesus Christ when possibly portrayed in figure and type? When NT reception repeatedly gave permission (even invitation) to consider? Witness Lee never even considered, apparently. Some doctrinal wall stumbled him, apparently. He wasn't even able to look at the plain words on paper in front of his eyes. The "inner life" apparently clouded him. He didn't "get life" to look at God's word, and consider, and muse. . .

These passages from Psalm 18 don't seem to refer to death to me:

He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
