A Testimony of Redemption
Commentators note that this verse is a powerful testimony of deliverance. Whether spoken by the restored person ("my soul") or by Elihu about him ("his soul"), the message is the same: God redeems people from the brink of death ("the pit") and restores them to life ("the light"). This highlights the personal nature of God's saving work.
