According to David, God is the one who saves us, and He has control over life and death. He is the powerful one who helps us when we are in trouble.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 32:39

This verse states that God both kills and makes alive, asserting control over death and life, potentially conflicting with the perception of God solely as a savior from death.

Deuteronomy 32:39: See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.

Contradiction with 1 Samuel 2:6

This verse states that God brings both death and life, which can be seen as contradictory to the notion that God exclusively delivers from death.

1 Samuel 2:6: The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:8

This points out the inevitability of death by indicating that no man has control over the spirit to retain it in the day of death, which might seem at odds with the notion of salvation from death.

Ecclesiastes 8:8: [There is] no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither [hath he] power in the day of death: and [there is] no discharge in [that] war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. [discharge: or, casting off weapons]

Contradiction with Jeremiah 15:2

This mentions the inevitability of certain destinies, including death, which appears to contradict the idea of being delivered from death.

Jeremiah 15:2: And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as [are] for death, to death; and such as [are] for the sword, to the sword; and such as [are] for the famine, to the famine; and such as [are] for the captivity, to the captivity.
