Salmos 31:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 31:16

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant
In which he prays for the gracious presence of God, the manifestations of himself unto him, the discoveries of his love, the enjoyment of him in Christ, communion with him, the comforts of his Spirit, and joys of his salvation; see ( Numbers 6:25 Numbers 6:26 ) ;

save me for thy mercies' sake;
not for any merit and righteousness of his own, but for the sake of the grace and goodness of the Lord; which is putting salvation, whether temporal or spiritual, upon its right foot and foundation; which is never wrought out by, or is for works of righteousness done by men, but according to the grace and mercy of God.

Salmos 31:16 In-Context

14 Mas yo en ti confié, oh SEÑOR; yo dije: Dios mío eres tú.

15 En tu mano están mis tiempos; líbrame de la mano de mis enemigos, y de mis perseguidores.

16 Haz resplandecer tu rostro sobre tu siervo; sálvame por tu misericordia.

17 SEÑOR, no sea yo confundido, porque te he invocado; sean confusos los impíos, sean cortados para el infierno.

18 Enmudezcan los labios mentirosos, que hablan contra el justo cosas duras, con soberbia y menosprecio.
