Salmos 36:6-12

6 A tua justiça é como os montes de Deus, os teus juízos são como o abismo profundo. Tu, Senhor, preservas os homens e os animais.

7 Quão preciosa é, ó Deus, a tua benignidade! Os filhos dos homens se refugiam � sombra das tuas asas.

8 Eles se fartarão da gordura da tua casa, e os farás beber da corrente das tuas delícias;

9 pois em ti está o manancial da vida; na tua luz vemos a luz.

10 Continua a tua benignidade aos que te conhecem, e a tua justiça aos retos de coração.

11 Não venha sobre mim o pé da soberba, e não me mova a mão dos ímpios.

12 Ali caídos estão os que praticavam a iniqüidade; estão derrubados, e não se podem levantar.

Salmos 36:6-12 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord. This title, which the psalmist takes to himself, regards him not only as a creature, every man being the servant of the Lord as such, of right, though not in fact; but as a king, he being a minister of God for good to good men, and for evil to evil men; and also may respect him as a renewed man; and it is here used in opposition to and distinction from the wicked, who are the servants of sin and Satan, of whom he speaks in this psalm. The Syriac and Arabic versions in their titles suggest that this psalm was written when David was persecuted by Saul, and which is the sense of some interpreters; but R. Obadiah thinks Ahithophel is designed by the wicked man in it; and so it was penned on account of Absalom's rebellion.
