Salmos 31:16

16 Que tu favor brille sobre tu siervo;

Salmos 31:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 31:16

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant
In which he prays for the gracious presence of God, the manifestations of himself unto him, the discoveries of his love, the enjoyment of him in Christ, communion with him, the comforts of his Spirit, and joys of his salvation; see ( Numbers 6:25 Numbers 6:26 ) ;

save me for thy mercies' sake;
not for any merit and righteousness of his own, but for the sake of the grace and goodness of the Lord; which is putting salvation, whether temporal or spiritual, upon its right foot and foundation; which is never wrought out by, or is for works of righteousness done by men, but according to the grace and mercy of God.

Salmos 31:16 In-Context

14 Pero yo confío en ti, oh Señor
,
digo: «¡Tú eres mi Dios!».

15 Mi futuro está en tus manos;
rescátame de los que me persiguen sin tregua.

16 Que tu favor brille sobre tu siervo;
por causa de tu amor inagotable, rescátame.

17 No permitas que me avergüencen, oh Señor
,
pues a ti clamo por ayuda.
Que los malvados pasen vergüenza,
que queden callados en la tumba.

18 Silencia sus labios mentirosos,
esos labios orgullosos y arrogantes que acusan al justo.
