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 Y ahora, Dios nuestro, escucha la oración de tu siervo y sus súplicas, y haz resplandecer tu rostro sobre tu santuario desolado, por amor de ti mismo, oh Señor.

18 Inclina tu oído, Dios mío, y escucha. Abre tus ojos y mira nuestras desolaciones y la ciudad sobre la cual se invoca tu nombre; pues no es por nuestros propios méritos que presentamos nuestras súplicas delante de ti, sino por tu gran compasión.

19 ¡Oh Señor, escucha! ¡Señor, perdona! ¡Señor, atiende y actúa! ¡No tardes, por amor de ti mismo, Dios mío! Porque tu nombre se invoca sobre tu ciudad y sobre tu pueblo.

20 Aún estaba yo hablando, orando y confesando mi pecado y el pecado de mi pueblo Israel, y presentando mi súplica delante del Señor mi Dios por el santo monte de mi Dios,

21 todavía estaba yo hablando en oración, cuando Gabriel, el hombre a quien había visto en la visión al principio, se me acercó, estando yo muy cansado, como a la hora de la ofrenda de la tarde.
