Salmi 116:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 116:5

Gracious is the Lord
So the psalmist found him, calling upon him; so he is in Christ, the author and giver of all grace, to help in time of need.

And righteous;
faithful to his promises, just in every dispensation of his providence, even in afflictive ones; righteous in punishing the enemies of his people, and in saving, justifying, and pardoning them for Christ's sake.

Yea, our God is merciful;
compassionate, tenderhearted, a heart full of pity, as a father to his child; and sympathizes with his people under all their afflictions, and saves them out of them; see ( Psalms 86:5 Psalms 86:15 ) .

Salmi 116:5 In-Context

3 I legami della morte mi aveano circondato, le angosce del soggiorno dei morti m’aveano còlto; io avevo incontrato distretta e cordoglio.

4 Ma io invocai il nome dell’Eterno: Deh, o Eterno, libera l’anima mia!

5 L’Eterno è pietoso e giusto, e il nostro Dio è misericordioso.

6 L’Eterno protegge i semplici; io ero ridotto in misero stato, egli mi ha salvato.

7 Ritorna, anima mia, al tuo riposo, perché l’Eterno t’ha colmata di beni.
