Salmos 28:4

4 Págales conforme a sus obras,conforme a sus malas acciones.Págales conforme a las obras de sus manos;¡dales su merecido!

Salmos 28:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 28:4

Give them according to their deeds
According to the demerit of them, which is death, even death eternal;

and according to the wickedness of their endeavours;
for though wicked men do not always succeed; yet their want of success does not excuse their wickedness;

give them after the work of their hands;
see ( 2 Timothy 4:14 ) ;

render to them their desert;
what their iniquities, in thought, word, and deed, deserve: such petitions are not contrary to that Christian charity which the Gospel recommends; nor do they savour of a spirit of revenge, which is condemned by the word of God; for it should be observed, that these things are said with respect to men given up to a reprobate mind; and that the psalmist does not seek to avenge himself, nor to gratify his own mind; but he sought the glory of God, and moreover spoke by a prophetic spirit, knowing what was the will of God in this case; see ( Psalms 28:5 ) ; and therefore these petitions of his are not to be drawn into an example in common and ordinary cases.

Salmos 28:4 In-Context

2 Oye mi voz suplicantecuando a ti acudo en busca de ayuda,cuando tiendo los brazos hacia tu lugar santísimo.

3 No me arrastres con los malvados,con los que hacen iniquidad,con los que hablan de paz con su prójimopero en su corazón albergan maldad.

4 Págales conforme a sus obras,conforme a sus malas acciones.Págales conforme a las obras de sus manos;¡dales su merecido!

5 Ya que no toman en cuenta las obras del SEÑORy lo que él ha hecho con sus manos,él los derribaráy nunca más volverá a levantarlos.

6 Bendito sea el SEÑOR,que ha oído mi voz suplicante.
