Psaume 86:13

13 Car ta bonté est grande envers moi, et tu as retiré mon âme du Sépulcre profond.

Psaume 86:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 86:13

For great is thy mercy toward me
Both in things temporal and spiritual; an instance of which follows:

and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell;
from a very distressed and disconsolate condition, being almost in despair, under a deep sense of sin, and a fearful apprehension of the wrath of God, as, particularly, when he was charged by Nathan; or from hell itself, and the severest punishment in it; from the second and eternal death, which every man is deserving of, and are only delivered from by the grace of God, and blood of Christ: this shows the sense the psalmist had of the just demerit of sin, and his thankfulness for deliverance from it; see ( Psalms 56:13 ) . Kimchi interprets it of the grave; but says, there are some that interpret it of the judgment, or condemnation of hell: such who have escaped great dangers in long and perilous journeys, or have been delivered from threatening diseases, are said to be saved from hell ^F18.

Psaume 86:13 In-Context

11 Éternel, enseigne-moi ta voie, je marcherai dans ta vérité; range mon cœur à la crainte de ton nom.

12 Je te louerai de tout mon cœur, Seigneur mon Dieu, et je glorifierai ton nom à toujours.

13 Car ta bonté est grande envers moi, et tu as retiré mon âme du Sépulcre profond.

14 O Dieu, des orgueilleux se lèvent contre moi, et une troupe de gens violents, qui ne t'ont pas devant les yeux, cherche ma vie.

15 Mais toi, Seigneur, tu es un Dieu pitoyable et miséricordieux, lent à la colère, abondant en bonté et en fidélité.
