Salmos 86:13

13 Porque grande es tu misericordia para conmigo, y has librado mi alma de las profundidades del Seol.

Salmos 86:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 86:13

For great is thy mercy toward me
Both in things temporal and spiritual; an instance of which follows:

and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell;
from a very distressed and disconsolate condition, being almost in despair, under a deep sense of sin, and a fearful apprehension of the wrath of God, as, particularly, when he was charged by Nathan; or from hell itself, and the severest punishment in it; from the second and eternal death, which every man is deserving of, and are only delivered from by the grace of God, and blood of Christ: this shows the sense the psalmist had of the just demerit of sin, and his thankfulness for deliverance from it; see ( Psalms 56:13 ) . Kimchi interprets it of the grave; but says, there are some that interpret it of the judgment, or condemnation of hell: such who have escaped great dangers in long and perilous journeys, or have been delivered from threatening diseases, are said to be saved from hell ^F18.

Salmos 86:13 In-Context

11 Enséñame, oh SEÑOR, tu camino; andaré en tu verdad; unifica mi corazón para que tema tu nombre.

12 Te daré gracias, Señor mi Dios, con todo mi corazón, y glorificaré tu nombre para siempre.

13 Porque grande es tu misericordia para conmigo, y has librado mi alma de las profundidades del Seol.

14 Oh Dios, los arrogantes se han levantado contra mí, y una banda de violentos ha buscado mi vida, y no te han tenido en cuenta.

15 Mas tú, Señor, eres un Dios compasivo y lleno de piedad, lento para la ira y abundante en misericordia y verdad.
