Salmos 142:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 142:5

I cried unto thee, O Lord
Finding no help from man, he turns to the Lord, and directs his prayer to him in his distress; I said, thou [art] my refuge;
as he was, from all his enemies that were in pursuit of him, and from the storm of calamities he apprehended was coming upon him: and a refuge the Lord is to all his people in time of trouble; and where they always meet with sustenance, protection, and safety; he being a strong habitation, a strong hold, a strong refuge, to which they may resort at all times; and such is Christ to all sensible sinners that flee unto him, ( Hebrews 6:18 ) ; [and] my portion in the land of the living;
and a most excellent one he is, a large, immense, and inconceivable portion; he and all his perfections, purposes, promises, and blessings, being included in it; a soul-satisfying one, and which will never be taken away nor consumed; it is a portion in the present life; it will last as long as life lasts, and continues unto death, and at death, and for evermore, ( Psalms 73:26 ) .

Salmos 142:5 In-Context

3 Quando o meu espírito desanima,és tu quem conhece o caminho que devo seguir.Na vereda por onde andoesconderam uma armadilha contra mim.

4 Olha para a minha direita e vê;ninguém se preocupa comigo.Não tenho abrigo seguro;ninguém se importa com a minha vida.

5 Clamo a ti, SENHOR, e digo:Tu és o meu refúgio;és tudo o que tenho na terra dos viventes.

6 Dá atenção ao meu clamor,pois estou muito abatido;livra-me dos que me perseguem,pois são mais fortes do que eu.

7 Liberta-me da prisão,e renderei graças ao teu nome.Então os justos se reunirão à minha voltapor causa da tua bondade para comigo.
