Daniel 9:17 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 9:17

Now therefore, O our God
This being our miserable case, and the seventy years' captivity being at an end, and thou still our covenant God, whom we profess and worship: hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications;
which he had put up in an humble manner, consisting of various petitions for grace and mercy before expressed: and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate;
the temple; its walls demolished, its altars thrown down, and the whole in ruins; a melancholy scene! the Lord, suffering these things, seemed to frown upon it, and upon his people, that used to serve him there; wherefore it is entreated that he would smile upon it again, and upon them, and cause it to be rebuilt, and his worship restored in it: and this is asked for the Lord's sake:
that is, for Christ's sake, who is Lord of all, especially of his chosen people, by creation, redemption, and marriage, as well as by their own consent and profession; and for whose sake, and in whose name, all requests are to be made to God, he being the only Mediator between God and man; and for the sake of whose blood, righteousness, and mediation, all the blessings of goodness are given unto men; and who also was Lord and proprietor of the temple, and was to come into it, as well as was the antitype of it.

Daniel 9:17 In-Context

15 Na verdade, ó Senhor, nosso Deus, que tiraste o teu povo da terra do Egito com mão poderosa, e te adquiriste nome como hoje se vê, temos pecado, temos procedido impiamente.
16 e Senhor, segundo todas as tuas justiças, apartem-se a tua ira e o teu furor da tua cidade de Jerusalém, do teu santo monte; porquanto por causa dos nossos pecados, e por causa das iniqüidades de nossos pais, tornou-se Jerusalém e o teu povo um opróbrio para todos os que estão em redor de nós.
17 Agora, pois, ó Deus nosso, ouve a oração do teu servo, e as suas súplicas, e sobre o teu santuário assolado faze resplandecer o teu rosto, por amor do Senhor.
18 Inclina, ó Deus meu, os teus ouvidos, e ouve; abre os teus olhos, e olha para a nossa desolação, e para a cidade que é chamada pelo teu nome; pois não lançamos as nossas súplicas perante a tua face fiados em nossas justiças, mas em tuas muitas misericórdias.
19 ç Senhor, ouve; ó Senhor, perdoa; ó Senhor, atende-nos e põe mãos � obra sem tardar, por amor de ti mesmo, ó Deus meu, porque a tua cidade e o teu povo se chamam pelo teu nome.
