Psalm 116:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 116:5

Gracious is the Lord
So the psalmist found him, calling upon him; so he is in Christ, the author and giver of all grace, to help in time of need.

And righteous;
faithful to his promises, just in every dispensation of his providence, even in afflictive ones; righteous in punishing the enemies of his people, and in saving, justifying, and pardoning them for Christ's sake.

Yea, our God is merciful;
compassionate, tenderhearted, a heart full of pity, as a father to his child; and sympathizes with his people under all their afflictions, and saves them out of them; see ( Psalms 86:5 Psalms 86:15 ) .

Psalm 116:5 In-Context

3 Es umfingen mich die Bande des Todes, und die Bedrängnisse des Scheols erreichten mich; ich fand Drangsal und Kummer.
4 Und ich rief an den Namen Jehovas: Bitte, Jehova, errette meine Seele!
5 Gnädig ist Jehova und gerecht, und unser Gott ist barmherzig.
6 Jehova bewahrt die Einfältigen; ich war elend, und er hat mich gerettet.
7 Kehre wieder, meine Seele, zu deiner Ruhe! Denn Jehova hat wohlgetan an dir.
