Salmi 69:18 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 69:18

Draw nigh unto my soul
God his father, while he was suffering, stood afar off from him; wherefore he desires that he would draw nigh to him in the manifestations of his love and favour to him; which he did, when he made known to him the way of life, and made him full of joy with his countenance;

[and] redeem it:
that is, from the power of the grave; not leave it there, but raise him from the dead, and give him glory, as he did;

deliver me, because of mine enemies;
that they might not triumph over him, as if, being dead, he should rise no more; and so the Targum,

``that mine enemies might not lift up themselves against me.''

Or the meaning is, deliver me from the grave, raise me from the dead, that I may requite mine enemies, and take vengeance on them; see ( Psalms 41:8-11 ) .

Salmi 69:18 In-Context

16 Rispondimi, o Eterno, perché la tua grazia è piena di bontà; secondo la grandezza delle tue compassioni, volgiti a me.

17 E non nascondere il tuo volto dal tuo servo, perché sono in distretta; affrettati a rispondermi.

18 Accostati all’anima mia, e redimila; riscattami per cagion de’ miei nemici.

19 Tu conosci il mio vituperio, la mia onta e la mia ignominia; i miei nemici son tutti davanti a te.

20 Il vituperio m’ha spezzato il cuore e son tutto dolente; ho aspettato chi si condolesse meco, non v’è stato alcuno; ho aspettato dei consolatori, ma non ne ho trovati.
