Daniele 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.

Daniele 9:17 In-Context

15 Or dunque, o Signore Iddio nostro, che traesti il tuo popolo fuori del paese di Egitto, con man forte, e ti acquistasti un Nome, qual’è al dì d’oggi; noi abbiam peccato, noi abbiamo operato empiamente.
16 Signore, secondo tutte le tue giustizie, racquetisi, ti prego, l’ira tua, e il tuo cruccio, inverso Gerusalemme, tua città; inverso il monte tuo santo; conciossiachè, per li nostri peccati, e per l’iniquità de’ nostri padri, Gerusalemme, e il tuo popolo, sieno in vituperio appo tutti quelli che sono d’intorno a noi.
17 Ed ora, ascolta, o Dio nostro, l’orazione del tuo servitore, e le sue supplicazioni; e per amor del Signore, fa’ risplendere il tuo volto sopra il tuo santuario, che è desolato.
18 Inchina, o Dio mio, il tuo orecchio, ed ascolta; apri gli occhi, e vedi le nostre desolazioni, e la città che si chiama del tuo Nome; perciocchè noi non presentiamo le nostre supplicazioni nel tuo cospetto, fondati sopra le nostre giustizie, anzi sopra le tue grandi misericordie.
19 Signore, esaudisci; Signore, perdona; Signore, attendi, ed opera, senza indugio, per amor di te stesso, o Dio mio; perciocchè la tua città, e il tuo popolo, si chiamano del tuo Nome.
