Salmos 119:84 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:84

How many [are] the days of thy servant?
&c.] If this is to be understood of the days of his life, they were very few, as the days of every man be; and if of his days of joy and comfort, peace and prosperity, they were fewer still; but if of days of adversity and affliction, which seems to be the sense, they were many indeed;

when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
good men have their persecutors; there is a judgment that will be executed on them, if not here, yet hereafter; it is a righteous thing with God to do it; it is often deferred when the saints, through zeal for the glory of God, and the honour of his justice, as well as for their own deliverance and comfort, are at times somewhat impatient for it, and earnestly solicit it, as the psalmist here; see ( Revelation 6:9 ) .

Salmos 119:84 In-Context

82 Os meus olhos fraquejam de tanto esperar pela tua promessa,e pergunto: “Quando me consolarás?”

83 Embora eu seja como uma vasilha inútil,não me esqueço dos teus decretos.

84 Até quando o teu servo deverá esperarpara que castigues os meus perseguidores?

85 Cavaram uma armadilha contra mim os arrogantes,os que não seguem a tua lei.

86 Todos os teus mandamentos merecem confiança;ajuda-me, pois sou perseguido com mentiras.
