Salmi 31:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 31:2

Bow down thine ear to me
Which is said after the manner of men, who, when they give attention, and listen to anything, stoop, and incline the ear; and this for God to do, as he sometimes does, is wonderful condescending grace!

deliver me speedily;
which shows that he was in great danger, and his case required haste: the Lord does help right early, and is sometimes a present help in time of need, and delivers at once, as soon as the mercy is asked for;

be thou my strong rock:
for shelter and security from enemies, as well as to build his everlasting salvation on, and to stand firmly upon, and out of danger;

for an house of defence to save me;
both for an house to dwell in, Lord being the dwelling place of his people in all generations, and a strong habitation to which they may continually resort; and for protection and safety, their place of defence in him being the munition of rocks, a strong hold, and a strong tower from the enemy.

Salmi 31:2 In-Context

1 Per il Capo de’ musici. Salmo di Davide. O Eterno, io mi son confidato in te, fa’ ch’io non sia giammai confuso; liberami per la tua giustizia.

2 Inclina a me il tuo orecchio; affrettati a liberarmi; siimi una forte ròcca, una fortezza ove tu mi salvi.

3 Poiché tu sei la mia ròcca e la mia fortezza; per amor del tuo nome guidami e conducimi.

4 Trammi dalla rete che m’han tesa di nascosto; poiché tu sei il mio baluardo.

5 Io rimetto il mio spirito nelle tue mani; tu m’hai riscattato, o Eterno, Dio di verità.
