Salmos 55:8

8 Qué rápido me escaparía
lejos de esta furiosa tormenta de odio.

Salmos 55:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 55:8

I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest.
] Of an army of rebellious subjects, bearing down all before them, and threatening with utter ruin and destruction; so a powerful army of enemies invading a country is signified by a storm and tempest, ( Isaiah 28:2 ) ( 32:2 ) ; and may be expressive of the storm and tempest of divine wrath and vengeance the sensible sinner hastens his escape from by fleeing to Christ; and of the blowing and furious winds of persecution, which the church, Christ's dove, flees from, by getting into the clefts of the rock, and the secret places of the stairs, ( Song of Solomon 2:14 ) ; and of the storms of divine wrath and justice that fell upon Christ as the surety of his people; from which the human nature, seized with fearfulness, trembling, and horror, desired an hasty escape.

¡me iría volando y descansaría!

a la tranquilidad del desierto.
Interludio

8 Qué rápido me escaparía
lejos de esta furiosa tormenta de odio.

9 Confúndelos, Señor, y frustra sus planes,
porque veo violencia y conflicto en la ciudad.

10 Día y noche patrullan sus murallas para cuidarla de invasores,
pero el verdadero peligro es la maldad que hay dentro de la ciudad.
