Psalm 129:4

4 Pero el Señor
es bueno;
cortó las cuerdas con que me ataban los impíos.

Psalm 129:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 129:4

The Lord [is] righteous
Or gracious and merciful; hence acts of mercy are called righteousness in the Hebrew language; the Lord has compassion on his people under their afflictions, and delivers them; or is faithful to his promises of salvation to them, and just and righteous to render tribulation to them that trouble them, and take vengeance upon them;

he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked:
alluding to the cords with which the plough is fastened to the oxen, which being cut, they cannot go on ploughing; or to the cords of whips, which when, cut cannot be used to any purpose: it designs the breaking of the confederacies of wicked men against the people of God; the confounding their counsels and schemes, and disappointing their devices; so that they cannot perform their enterprises, or carry their designs into execution, or go on with and finish their intentions. The Targum renders it,

``the chains of the wicked;''

see ( Isaiah 5:18 ) .

Psalm 129:4 In-Context

2 Desde mi temprana juventud, mis enemigos me han perseguido
pero nunca me derrotaron.

3 Tengo la espalda cubierta de heridas,
como si un agricultor hubiera arado largos surcos.

4 Pero el Señor
es bueno;
cortó las cuerdas con que me ataban los impíos.

5 Que todos los que odian a Jerusalén
retrocedan en vergonzosa derrota.

6 Que sean tan inútiles como la hierba que crece en un techo,
que se pone amarilla a la mitad de su desarrollo,
