Salmos 55:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 55:16

As for me, I will call upon God
Not upon a creature, on idols and images, on angels or saints departed; but upon God, in his time of trouble, for salvation and deliverance from enemies; who is able to save. This is to be understood of calling upon God in prayer; as ( Psalms 55:17 ) explains it, and the Targum here renders it; though sometimes invocation of the name of God takes in the whole of divine worship;

and the Lord shall save me;
which confidence was founded partly upon his promise to deliver such that call upon him in the day of trouble, ( Psalms 50:15 ) ; and partly upon his power, whose hand is not shortened that it cannot save. The Targum is,

``the Word of the Lord shall redeem me.''

Salmos 55:16 In-Context

14 nosotros que juntos teníamos dulce comunión, que con la multitud andábamos en la casa de Dios.

15 Que la muerte los sorprenda, que desciendan vivos al Seol, porque la maldad está en su morada, en medio de ellos.

16 En cuanto a mí, a Dios invocaré, y el SEÑOR me salvará.

17 Tarde, mañana y mediodía me lamentaré y gemiré, y El oirá mi voz.

18 En paz redimirá mi alma de la guerra que hay contra mí, pues son muchos los que están contra mí.
