Salmos 86:12-17

12 Te alabaré, oh SEÑOR Dios mío, con todo mi corazón; y glorificaré tu Nombre para siempre

13 Porque tu misericordia es grande sobre mí; y has librado mi alma de lo profundo del Seol

14 Oh Dios, soberbios se levantaron contra mí, y conspiración de fuertes ha buscado mi alma, y no te pusieron delante de sí

15 Mas tú, Señor, Dios misericordioso y clemente, lento para la ira, y grande en misericordia y verdad

16 mira en mí, y ten misericordia de mí; da fortaleza tuya a tu siervo, y guarda al hijo de tu sierva

17 Haz conmigo señal para bien, y véanla los que me aborrecen, y sean avergonzados; porque tú, SEÑOR, me ayudaste, y me consolaste

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.
