Daniel 9:19 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 9:19

O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive
That is, hear the prayers and supplications that have been presented, and forgive the sins that have been confessed; show both, by removing present calamities, and restoring to former prosperity and privileges: O Lord, hearken, and do;
not only listen to what has been said, and give an answer by speaking, but work salvation and deliverance: defer not, for thine own sake, O my God;
these words seem to be directed to Christ the Son of God, and who is the true God, and the God of his people; who is three times in this verse before called Adonai, for whose sake prayer and supplication were made, ( Daniel 9:17 ) and here again, for his own sake, he is entreated not to "defer" the fulfilment of the promise of delivering the Jews from their captivity in Babylon, the seventy years being now up, or just expiring; and also that he would not defer his own coming for the redemption of his people, which no doubt Daniel had in his mind, and was wishing and waiting for: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name;
Jerusalem, the city of the great King, Christ, and a type of his church and people, who are also called by his name, and call upon him.

Daniel 9:19 In-Context

17 Agora, pois, ó Deus nosso, ouve a oração do teu servo, e as suas súplicas, e sobre o teu santuário assolado faze resplandecer o teu rosto, por amor do Senhor.

18 Inclina, ó Deus meu, os teus ouvidos, e ouve; abre os teus olhos, e olha para a nossa desolação, e para a cidade que é chamada pelo teu nome; pois não lançamos as nossas súplicas perante a tua face fiados em nossas justiças, mas em tuas muitas misericórdias.

19 ç Senhor, ouve; ó Senhor, perdoa; ó Senhor, atende-nos e põe mãos � obra sem tardar, por amor de ti mesmo, ó Deus meu, porque a tua cidade e o teu povo se chamam pelo teu nome.

20 Enquanto estava eu ainda falando e orando, e confessando o meu pecado, e o pecado do meu povo Israel, e lançando a minha súplica perante a face do Senhor, meu Deus, pelo monte santo do meu Deus,

21 sim enquanto estava eu ainda falando na oração, o varão Gabriel, que eu tinha visto na minha visão ao princípio, veio voando rapidamente, e tocou-me � hora da oblação da tarde.
