Psalm 142:6

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

Psalm 142:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 142:6

Attend unto my cry
His prayer and supplication for help in his distress, which he desires might be hearkened unto and answered;

for I am brought very low;
in his spirit, in the exercise of grace, being in great affliction, and reduced to the utmost extremity, weakened, impoverished, and exhausted; wanting both men and money to assist him, ( Psalms 79:8 ) ( 116:6 ) ;

deliver me from my persecutors;
Saul and his men, who were in pursuit of him with great warmth and eagerness;

for they are stronger than I;
more in number, and greater in strength; Saul had with him three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, ablebodied men, and expert in war; veteran troops, and in high spirits, with their king at the head of them; David had about six hundred men, and these poor mean creatures, such as were in distress, in debt, and discontented, and in want of provisions, and dispirited; see ( 1 Samuel 22:2 ) ( 23:13 ) ( 24:2 ) ( Psalms 18:16 ) . So the spiritual enemies of the Lord's people are stronger than they, ( Jeremiah 31:11 ) ( Ephesians 6:12 ) .

Psalm 142:6 In-Context

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».
