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 ) .

Psalm 116:5 In-Context

3 Les liens de la mort m'avaient entouré, les angoisses du Sépulcre m'avaient saisi; j'avais trouvé la détresse et la douleur.

4 Mais j'invoquai le nom de l'Éternel: O Éternel, délivre mon âme!

5 L'Éternel est compatissant et juste, et notre Dieu fait miséricorde.

6 L'Éternel garde les petits; j'étais misérable, et il m'a sauvé.

7 Mon âme, retourne à ton repos, car l'Éternel t'a fait du bien.
