Commentary:
28 Cf. 37:143 - "had he not been of those who [even in the deep darkness of their distress are able to] extol God’s limitless glory": i.e., who always remember God and pray for His forgiveness.
29 Lit., "while he was still blameworthy", i.e., burdened with sin and unredeemed by repentance: implying that but for God's grace he would have died as a sinner.
