Salmos 86:12-17

12 Con todo el corazón te alabaré, oh Señor mi Dios;
daré gloria a tu nombre para siempre,

13 porque muy grande es tu amor por mí;
me has rescatado de las profundidades de la muerte.

14 Oh Dios, gente insolente se levanta en mi contra;
una pandilla violenta trata de matarme.
No significas nada para ellos.

15 Pero tú, oh Señor,
eres Dios de compasión y misericordia,
lento para enojarte
y lleno de amor inagotable y fidelidad.

16 Mírame y ten misericordia de mí.
Dale tu fuerza a tu siervo;
salva a este hijo de tu sierva.

17 Envíame una señal de tu favor.
Entonces, los que me odian pasarán vergüenza,
porque tú, oh Señor
, me ayudas y me consuelas.

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.
