Salmos 31:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 31:8

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy
When in Keilah, in the wilderness of Ziph, and Maon, and encompassed about by Saul and his army, ( 1 Samuel 23:7 1 Samuel 23:13 1 Samuel 23:14 1 Samuel 23:24-26 ) ; nor does the Lord suffer his people to be shut up under the power of sin and Satan, so that they cannot come forth in the exercise of grace, and the discharge of duty: but he brings their souls out of prison, that they may praise his name;

thou hast set my feet in a large room;
at full liberty from his enemies; Saul and his army being called off from pursuing him, by tidings of an invasion by the Philistines, ( 1 Samuel 23:27-29 ) ; and this is the case of the saints when they are brought to Christ, to walk by faith at large on him; when grace is drawn forth into exercise, and spiritual knowledge is increased, and they are delivered from their enemies; or, however, can look upon them as conquered ones, and are sure of victory over them, and at last of an entire deliverance from them; see ( Psalms 4:1 ) ( 18:19 ) ( 118:5 ) .

Salmos 31:8 In-Context

6 Aborrezco a los que confían en ídolos vanos; mas yo confío en el SEÑOR.

7 Me gozaré y me alegraré en tu misericordia, porque tú has visto mi aflicción; has conocido las angustias de mi alma,

8 y no me has entregado en manos del enemigo; tú has puesto mis pies en lugar espacioso.

9 Ten piedad de mí, oh SEÑOR, porque estoy en angustia; se consumen de sufrir mis ojos, mi alma y mis entrañas.

10 Pues mi vida se gasta en tristeza, y mis años en suspiros; mis fuerzas se agotan a causa de mi iniquidad, y se ha consumido mi cuerpo .
