Psalm 55:16

16 Pero clamaré a Dios,
y el Señor
me rescatará.

Psalm 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.''

Psalm 55:16 In-Context

14 ¡Cuánto compañerismo disfrutábamos
cuando caminábamos juntos hacia la casa de Dios!

15 Que la muerte aceche a mis enemigos;
que la tumba
se los trague vivos,
porque la maldad habita en ellos.

16 Pero clamaré a Dios,
y el Señor
me rescatará.

17 Mañana, tarde y noche
clamo en medio de mi angustia,
y el Señor
oye mi voz.

18 Él me rescata y me mantiene a salvo
de la batalla que se libra en mi contra,
aunque muchos todavía se me oponen.
