Salmos 142:6

6 Escucha mi clamor, que estoy muy afligido; Líbrame de los que me persiguen, porque son más fuertes que yo.

Salmos 142:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 142:6

Attend unto my cry
His prayer and supplication for help in his distress, which he desires might be hearkened unto and answered;

for I am brought very low;
in his spirit, in the exercise of grace, being in great affliction, and reduced to the utmost extremity, weakened, impoverished, and exhausted; wanting both men and money to assist him, ( Psalms 79:8 ) ( 116:6 ) ;

deliver me from my persecutors;
Saul and his men, who were in pursuit of him with great warmth and eagerness;

for they are stronger than I;
more in number, and greater in strength; Saul had with him three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, ablebodied men, and expert in war; veteran troops, and in high spirits, with their king at the head of them; David had about six hundred men, and these poor mean creatures, such as were in distress, in debt, and discontented, and in want of provisions, and dispirited; see ( 1 Samuel 22:2 ) ( 23:13 ) ( 24:2 ) ( Psalms 18:16 ) . So the spiritual enemies of the Lord's people are stronger than they, ( Jeremiah 31:11 ) ( Ephesians 6:12 ) .

Salmos 142:6 In-Context

4 Miraba á la mano derecha, y observaba; mas no había quien me conociese; No tuve refugio, no había quien volviese por mi vida.

5 Clamé á ti, oh Jehová, Dije: Tú eres mi esperanza, Y mi porción en la tierra de los vivientes.

6 Escucha mi clamor, que estoy muy afligido; Líbrame de los que me persiguen, porque son más fuertes que yo.

7 Saca mi alma de la cárcel para que alabe tu nombre: Me rodearán los justos, Porque tú me serás propicio.
