Psalm 86:13

13 Perciocchè la tua benignità è grande sopra me; E tu hai riscossa l’anima mia dal fondo del sepolcro.

Psalm 86:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 86:13

For great is thy mercy toward me
Both in things temporal and spiritual; an instance of which follows:

and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell;
from a very distressed and disconsolate condition, being almost in despair, under a deep sense of sin, and a fearful apprehension of the wrath of God, as, particularly, when he was charged by Nathan; or from hell itself, and the severest punishment in it; from the second and eternal death, which every man is deserving of, and are only delivered from by the grace of God, and blood of Christ: this shows the sense the psalmist had of the just demerit of sin, and his thankfulness for deliverance from it; see ( Psalms 56:13 ) . Kimchi interprets it of the grave; but says, there are some that interpret it of the judgment, or condemnation of hell: such who have escaped great dangers in long and perilous journeys, or have been delivered from threatening diseases, are said to be saved from hell ^F18.

Psalm 86:13 In-Context

11 O Signore, insegnami la tua via, E fa’ che io cammini nella tua verità; Unisci il mio cuore al timor del tuo nome.

12 Io ti celebrerò, o Signore Iddio mio, con tutto il mio cuore; E glorificherò il tuo Nome in perpetuo.

13 Perciocchè la tua benignità è grande sopra me; E tu hai riscossa l’anima mia dal fondo del sepolcro.

14 O Dio, uomini superbi si son levati contro a me; Ed una raunanza di violenti, I quali non ti pongono davanti agli occhi loro, Cercano l’anima mia.

15 Ma tu, Signore, sei l’Iddio misericordioso e pietoso, Lento all’ira, e di gran benignità e verità.
