Why does it say "Ki Elecha

1.

Rashi: This refers to above (3-4) "Shisah

2)

What is the meaning of "Al Te'ar Nafshi"?

1.

Rashi: My Nefesh should not be sent from in front of You. This is like "va'Te'ar Kadah El ha'Shokes" (Bereishis 24:20).

2.

Radak: This is being spilled and poured, like "va'Te'ar Kadah El ha'Shokes." When the Nefesh leaves the body, it is as if it is spilled from it - "va'Eshpoch Es Nafshi 1 Lifnei Hashem" (Shmuel I, 1:15).

3.

Malbim: Even though [based on nature, when we jump from the mountain - refer to 141:7:3:2] our bones should scatter, as if the land under us cleaved, since I trusted in Hashem, my Nafshi will not be removed from my body, even though our bones will scatter. This shows their awesome trust in Hashem!
