bound: The metaphors in this verse are derived from the consideration, that things of value are collected together, and often tied up in bundles, like sheaves of corn, to prevent their being scattered and lost, and that whatever is put into a sling is not intended to be preserved, but to be thrown away. 1 Samuel 2:9; Genesis 15:1; Deuteronomy 33:29; Psalms 66:9, Psalms 116:15; Malachi 3:17; Matthew 10:29-30

with the Lord: John 10:27-30, John 14:19, John 17:21, John 17:23; Colossians 3:3-4; 1 Peter 1:5

sling out: Jeremiah 10:18

as out of the middle of a sling: Heb. in the midst of the bow of a sling
