What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
That the instruction set forth by him is not false, he confirms by pointing to the words of David, and says: "who loves life," that is, who transforms himself for the true life and wants to show it worthy of love (for the expression "loves" indicates this, wants to show it desirable for people), let him steadfastly hold to that which, together with me, the prophetic word also sets forth.
Oecumenius
For whoever desires to love life? Life, I say, not in which even irrational beings exist, but in which man lives according to God, and days that are not bad, but good. For the days of this age, according to the patriarch Jacob, are few and evil. (Gen. 47:9) But where the prophetic oracle concludes, because it was placed therein:
Clement of Alexandria
For he that will love life, and see good days; that is, who wishes to become eternal and immortal. And He calls the Lord life, and the days good, that is holy.
