Salmos 71:21

21 Aumentarás a minha grandeza, e de novo me consolarás.

Salmos 71:21 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 71:21

Thou shalt increase my greatness
His temporal greatness, as he did, by crushing the rebellion of his son; returning him to his palace and family; and giving him rest from his enemies all around: and his spiritual greatness, by favouring him with his presence; by shedding abroad his love in his heart; by enlarging his experience; increasing his faith, causing his love to abound, and him to grow in every grace, and in the knowledge of Christ;

and comfort me on every side;
by his Spirit, word, and ordinances; by his truths and promises; with his rod and staff; and with mercy, grace, and lovingkindness. The phrase denotes the abundance of comfort, which should come as it were from every quarter, and encompass him about.

Salmos 71:21 In-Context

19 A tua justiça, ó Deus, atinge os altos céus; tu tens feito grandes coisas; ó Deus, quem é semelhante a ti?

20 Tu, que me fizeste ver muitas e penosas tribulações, de novo me restituirás a vida, e de novo me tirarás dos abismos da terra.

21 Aumentarás a minha grandeza, e de novo me consolarás.

22 Também eu te louvarei ao som do saltério, pela tua fidelidade, ó meu Deus; cantar-te-ei ao som da harpa, ó Santo de Israel.

23 Os meus lábios exultarão quando eu cantar os teus louvores, assim como a minha alma, que tu remiste.
