Salmos 27:7

7 Ouve, ó Senhor, a minha voz quando clamo; compadece-te de mim e responde-me.

Salmos 27:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 27:7

Hear, O Lord, [when] I cry with my voice
Which is to be understood of prayer, and that in the time of distress; and of vocal prayer, as distinguished from mental prayer; and the phrase denotes the vehemency and intenseness of it: and the request is, that the Lord would hear it; not only as he is omniscient and omnipresent, and so hears the prayers of all, good and bad; but as a God gracious and merciful, who sometimes very quickly hears, and answers in a gracious way, and sometimes seems to turn a deaf car, to shut out the prayers of his people, and cover himself with a cloud, that they should not pass through, or, however, defers an answer to it for a little while; yet, sooner or later, he always shows himself a God hearing prayer;

have mercy also upon me;
by delivering him out of his temporal distresses, and by forgiving his iniquities;

and answer me;
by speaking a word in season; commanding off the affliction he lay under, and by saying to him that his sins were forgiven him.

Salmos 27:7 In-Context

5 Pois no dia da adversidade me esconderá no seu pavilhão; no recôndito do seu tabernáculo me esconderá; sobre uma rocha me elevará.

6 E agora será exaltada a minha cabeça acima dos meus inimigos que estão ao redor de mim; e no seu tabernáculo oferecerei sacrifícios de júbilo; cantarei, sim, cantarei louvores ao Senhor.

7 Ouve, ó Senhor, a minha voz quando clamo; compadece-te de mim e responde-me.

8 Quando disseste: Buscai o meu rosto; o meu coração te disse a ti: O teu rosto, Senhor, buscarei.

9 Não escondas de mim o teu rosto, não rejeites com ira o teu servo, tu que tens sido a minha ajuda. Não me enjeites nem me desampares, ó Deus da minha salvação.
