Psaume 116:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 116:5

Gracious is the Lord
So the psalmist found him, calling upon him; so he is in Christ, the author and giver of all grace, to help in time of need.

And righteous;
faithful to his promises, just in every dispensation of his providence, even in afflictive ones; righteous in punishing the enemies of his people, and in saving, justifying, and pardoning them for Christ's sake.

Yea, our God is merciful;
compassionate, tenderhearted, a heart full of pity, as a father to his child; and sympathizes with his people under all their afflictions, and saves them out of them; see ( Psalms 86:5 Psalms 86:15 ) .

Psaume 116:5 In-Context

3 Les liens de la mort m'avaient environné, Et les angoisses du sépulcre m'avaient saisi; J'étais en proie à la détresse et à la douleur.

4 Mais j'invoquai le nom de l'Eternel: O Eternel, sauve mon âme!

5 L'Eternel est miséricordieux et juste, Notre Dieu est plein de compassion;

6 L'Eternel garde les simples; J'étais malheureux, et il m'a sauvé.

7 Mon âme, retourne à ton repos, Car l'Eternel t'a fait du bien.
