Daniel 9:9 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 9:9

To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses
Mercy is his nature, and what he delights in; it is abundant, and he is plenteous in it the fountain of mercy is with him, and numerous are the streams which flow from it, called "the multitude of his tender mercies"; all temporal favours spring from hence, and so do all spiritual blessings, the sure mercies of David; and particularly the forgiveness of sin, which is the Lord's prerogative, and is according to the tender mercies of our God, and the riches of his grace; and is of all sins, and of all sorts of sinners; he doth abundantly pardon all that apply to him for it, and forgives all trespasses; see ( Psalms 130:4 Psalms 130:7 ) : though we have rebelled against him:
there is mercy with the Lord, and forgiveness with him, even for rebellious ones; which is an exaggeration and illustration of his pardoning grace and mercy: or, "for we have sinned against him" ^F7; so that it is a plain case that he is merciful and has forgiven our iniquities, since he has spared us, and not destroyed us, and now is about to put an end to our captivity, according to his promise; and if he had not mercy on us, and did not forgive our sins, we must perish in them, and there would be no hope of salvation for us.

Daniel 9:9 In-Context

7 Senhor, tu és justo, e hoje estamos envergonhados. Sim, nós, o povo de Judá, de Jerusalém e de todo o Israel, tanto os que estão perto como os que estão distantes, em todas as terras pelas quais nos espalhaste por causa de nossa infidelidade para contigo.

8 Ó SENHOR, nós e nossos reis, nossos líderes e nossos antepassados estamos envergonhados por termos pecado contra ti.

9 O Senhor nosso Deus é misericordioso e perdoador, apesar de termos sido rebeldes;

10 não te demos ouvidos, SENHOR nosso Deus, nem obedecemos às leis que nos deste por meio dos teus servos, os profetas.

11 Todo o Israel transgrediu a tua lei e se desviou, recusando-se a te ouvir.Por isso as maldições e as pragas escritas na Lei de Moisés, servo de Deus, têm sido derramadas sobre nós, porque pecamos contra ti.
