On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

To depart and be with Christ is most happy for the saints themselves; but for them to abide in the flesh is more profitable for the church. This David had an eye to when he pleaded this, In the grave who shall give thee thanks? And this Christ had an eye to when he said, I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

There is no incredulity as to a future state. The contrast is between this scene of life, and the grave or Sheol, the unseen world of the dead. give . . . thanks--or, "praise for mercies."
