a Dios, quien cumplirá su propósito para mí.

Salmos 57:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 57:2

I will cry unto God most high
To remember him in his low estate, and who is higher than the highest, than Saul and his mighty men with him. This epithet David no doubt made use of, to encourage his faith in the Lord, who is above all, and can do all things; as follows;

unto God that performeth [all things] for me;
in a providential way, having made him, upheld him in being, fed and clothed him, preserved him, and followed him with his goodness all his days; and in a way of grace he performed all his purposes concerning him, all his promises unto him, and was performing and would perfect the work of grace in him; see ( Psalms 138:8 ) ( Philippians 1:6 ) . The Targum adds a fable by way of paraphrase on the text,

``who commanded, or prepared a spider, to perfect in the mouth of the cave a web for me;''

so it is in the king's Bible; as if, when he was in the cave, God so ordered it in his providence, that a spider should spin a web over the month of it, which prevented his persecutors from searching for him in it; but the Scripture is silent in this matter. Such a story is reported of Felix, bishop of Nola, in ecclesiastical history ^F13.

Salmos 57:2 In-Context

1 Salmo 57
Para el director del coro: salmo
de David, acerca de cuando huyó de Saúl y entró en una cueva. Cántese con la melodía de «¡No destruyas!».
¡Ten misericordia de mí, oh Dios, ten misericordia!
En ti busco protección.
Me esconderé bajo la sombra de tus alas
hasta que haya pasado el peligro.

2 Clamo al Dios Altísimo,
a Dios, quien cumplirá su propósito para mí.

3 Él mandará ayuda del cielo para rescatarme,
y avergonzará a los que me persiguen.
Interludio
Mi Dios enviará su amor inagotable y su fidelidad.

4 Me rodean leones feroces
que con avidez devoran a sus presas humanas;
sus dientes penetran como lanzas y flechas,
y sus lenguas cortan como espadas.

5 ¡Exaltado seas, oh Dios, por encima de los cielos más altos!
Que tu gloria brille sobre toda la tierra.
