Psalm 142:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 142:5

I cried unto thee, O Lord
Finding no help from man, he turns to the Lord, and directs his prayer to him in his distress; I said, thou [art] my refuge;
as he was, from all his enemies that were in pursuit of him, and from the storm of calamities he apprehended was coming upon him: and a refuge the Lord is to all his people in time of trouble; and where they always meet with sustenance, protection, and safety; he being a strong habitation, a strong hold, a strong refuge, to which they may resort at all times; and such is Christ to all sensible sinners that flee unto him, ( Hebrews 6:18 ) ; [and] my portion in the land of the living;
and a most excellent one he is, a large, immense, and inconceivable portion; he and all his perfections, purposes, promises, and blessings, being included in it; a soul-satisfying one, and which will never be taken away nor consumed; it is a portion in the present life; it will last as long as life lasts, and continues unto death, and at death, and for evermore, ( Psalms 73:26 ) .

Psalm 142:5 In-Context

3 Cuando me siento agobiado,
solo tú sabes qué camino debo tomar.
Vaya adonde vaya,
mis enemigos me han tendido trampas.

4 Busco a alguien que venga a ayudarme,
¡pero a nadie se le ocurre hacerlo!
Nadie me ayudará;
a nadie le importa un bledo lo que me pasa.

5 Entonces oro a ti, oh Señor
,
y digo: «Tú eres mi lugar de refugio.
En verdad, eres todo lo que quiero en la vida.

6 Oye mi clamor,
porque estoy muy decaído.
Rescátame de mis perseguidores,
porque son demasiado fuertes para mí.

7 Sácame de la prisión
para que pueda agradecerte.
Los justos se amontonarán a mi alrededor,
porque tú eres bueno conmigo».
