Salmos 119:52 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:52

I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord
Either the judgments of God executed on wicked men; as the bringing a flood on the world of the ungodly; the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah; the destruction of Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea; the cutting off of the Canaanites, and dispossessing them of their land: or the providential dispensations of God towards his own people; who sometimes chastises and corrects them, and brings them very low, and then raises them up again, as in the case of Job. These things the psalmist called to remembrance, and revolved them in his mind, which gave him pleasure and comfort: and have comforted myself;
with such thoughts as these, that that God, who had cast down the mighty from their seats, and had scattered the proud in the imaginations of their hearts, and destroyed them, could easily rebuke the proud that had him in derision; and he that had shown himself so good and gracious to his people, when brought low, could raise him out of his afflictions and distresses.

Salmos 119:52 In-Context

50 Este es mi consuelo en la aflicción: que tu palabra me ha vivificado.

51 Los soberbios me insultaron en gran manera, sin embargo, no me he apartado de tu ley.

52 Me acuerdo de tus ordenanzas antiguas , oh SEÑOR, y me consuelo.

53 Profunda indignación se ha apoderado de mí por causa de los impíos que abandonan tu ley.

54 Cánticos para mí son tus estatutos en la casa de mi peregrinación.
