Salmos 86:12-17

12 Te daré gracias, Señor mi Dios, con todo mi corazón, y glorificaré tu nombre para siempre.

13 Porque grande es tu misericordia para conmigo, y has librado mi alma de las profundidades del Seol.

14 Oh Dios, los arrogantes se han levantado contra mí, y una banda de violentos ha buscado mi vida, y no te han tenido en cuenta.

15 Mas tú, Señor, eres un Dios compasivo y lleno de piedad, lento para la ira y abundante en misericordia y verdad.

16 Vuélvete hacia mí, y tenme piedad; da tu poder a tu siervo, y salva al hijo de tu sierva.

17 Muéstrame una señal de bondad, para que la vean los que me aborrecen y se averguencen, porque tú, oh SEÑOR, me has ayudado y consolado.

Salmos 86:12-17 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 86

\\<>\\. The title is the same with the Seventeenth Psalm, and the subject of it is much alike: it was written by David, when in distress, and his life was sought after; very likely when he was persecuted by Saul, and fled from him; so Aben Ezra, Jarchi, and Kimchi: and as he was a type of Christ in his afflictions, as well as in his exalted state, it may not be unfitly applied to him, as it is by some interpreters. The Syriac inscription of it is, ``for David, when he built an house for the Lord; and a prophecy of the calling of the Gentiles; and moreover, a prayer of a peculiar righteous man.'' Theodoret thinks it predicts the siege of Jerusalem by the Assyrians, and Hezekiah's hope in God.
