Salmos 86:12-17

12 Pois grande é a tua benignidade para comigo, e livraste a minha alma das profundezas do Seol.

13 Pois grande é a tua benignidade para comigo, e livraste a minha alma das profundezas do Seol.

14 Ó Deus, os soberbos têm-se levantado contra mim, e um bando de homens violentos procura tirar-me a vida; eles não te puseram diante dos seus olhos.

15 Mas tu, Senhor, és um Deus compassivo e benigno, longânimo, e abundante em graça e em fidelidade.

16 Volta-te para mim, e compadece-te de mim; dá a tua força ao teu servo, e a salva o filho da tua serva.

17 Mostra-me um sinal do teu favor, para que o vejam aqueles que me odeiam, e sejam envergonhados, por me haveres tu, Senhor, ajuntado e confortado.

Salmos 86:12-17 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 86

\\<>\\. The title is the same with the Seventeenth Psalm, and the subject of it is much alike: it was written by David, when in distress, and his life was sought after; very likely when he was persecuted by Saul, and fled from him; so Aben Ezra, Jarchi, and Kimchi: and as he was a type of Christ in his afflictions, as well as in his exalted state, it may not be unfitly applied to him, as it is by some interpreters. The Syriac inscription of it is, ``for David, when he built an house for the Lord; and a prophecy of the calling of the Gentiles; and moreover, a prayer of a peculiar righteous man.'' Theodoret thinks it predicts the siege of Jerusalem by the Assyrians, and Hezekiah's hope in God.
