Salmi 71:21

21 Tu hai accresciuta la mia grandezza, E ti sei rivolto, e mi hai consolato.

Salmi 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.

Salmi 71:21 In-Context

19 E la tua giustizia, o Dio, esalterò sommamente: Perciocchè tu hai fatte cose grandi. O Dio, chi è pari a te?

20 Perciocchè, avendomi fatto sentir molte tribolazioni e mali, Tu mi hai di nuovo resa la vita, E mi hai di nuovo tratto fuor degli abissi della terra.

21 Tu hai accresciuta la mia grandezza, E ti sei rivolto, e mi hai consolato.

22 Io altresì, collo strumento del saltero, celebrerò te, E la tua verità, o Dio mio; Io ti salmeggerò colla cetera, o Santo d’Israele.

23 Le mie labbra giubileranno, quando io ti salmeggerò; E insieme l’anima mia, la quale tu hai riscattata.
