Daniele 9:19

19 Signore, esaudisci; Signore, perdona; Signore, attendi, ed opera, senza indugio, per amor di te stesso, o Dio mio; perciocchè la tua città, e il tuo popolo, si chiamano del tuo Nome.

Daniele 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.

Daniele 9:19 In-Context

17 Ed ora, ascolta, o Dio nostro, l’orazione del tuo servitore, e le sue supplicazioni; e per amor del Signore, fa’ risplendere il tuo volto sopra il tuo santuario, che è desolato.

18 Inchina, o Dio mio, il tuo orecchio, ed ascolta; apri gli occhi, e vedi le nostre desolazioni, e la città che si chiama del tuo Nome; perciocchè noi non presentiamo le nostre supplicazioni nel tuo cospetto, fondati sopra le nostre giustizie, anzi sopra le tue grandi misericordie.

19 Signore, esaudisci; Signore, perdona; Signore, attendi, ed opera, senza indugio, per amor di te stesso, o Dio mio; perciocchè la tua città, e il tuo popolo, si chiamano del tuo Nome.

20 Ora, mentre io parlava ancora, e faceva orazione, e confessione del mio peccato, e del peccato del mio popolo Israele; e presentava la mia supplicazione davanti al Signore Iddio mio, per lo monte santo dell’Iddio mio;

21 mentre io parlava ancora, orando, quell’uomo Gabriele, il quale io avea veduto in visione al principio, volò ratto, e mi toccò, intorno al tempo dell’offerta della sera.
