Psalm 116:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 116:5

Gracious is the Lord
So the psalmist found him, calling upon him; so he is in Christ, the author and giver of all grace, to help in time of need.

And righteous;
faithful to his promises, just in every dispensation of his providence, even in afflictive ones; righteous in punishing the enemies of his people, and in saving, justifying, and pardoning them for Christ's sake.

Yea, our God is merciful;
compassionate, tenderhearted, a heart full of pity, as a father to his child; and sympathizes with his people under all their afflictions, and saves them out of them; see ( Psalms 86:5 Psalms 86:15 ) .

3 Los lazos de la muerte me enredaron;me sorprendió la angustia del sepulcro,y caí en la ansiedad y la aflicción.

4 Entonces clamé al SEÑOR:«¡Te ruego, SEÑOR, que me salves la vida!»

5 El SEÑOR es compasivo y justo;nuestro Dios es todo ternura.

6 El SEÑOR protege a la gente sencilla;estaba yo muy débil, y él me salvó.
