Psalm 71:21

21 tu accrescerai la mia grandezza, e ti volgerai di nuovo a me per consolarmi.

Psalm 71:21 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 71:21

Thou shalt increase my greatness
His temporal greatness, as he did, by crushing the rebellion of his son; returning him to his palace and family; and giving him rest from his enemies all around: and his spiritual greatness, by favouring him with his presence; by shedding abroad his love in his heart; by enlarging his experience; increasing his faith, causing his love to abound, and him to grow in every grace, and in the knowledge of Christ;

and comfort me on every side;
by his Spirit, word, and ordinances; by his truths and promises; with his rod and staff; and with mercy, grace, and lovingkindness. The phrase denotes the abundance of comfort, which should come as it were from every quarter, and encompass him about.

Psalm 71:21 In-Context

19 Anche la tua giustizia, o Dio, è eccelsa; tu hai fatto cose grandi; o Dio, chi è pari a te?

20 Tu, che ci hai fatto veder molte e gravi distrette, ci darai di nuovo la vita e ci trarrai di nuovo dagli abissi della terra;

21 tu accrescerai la mia grandezza, e ti volgerai di nuovo a me per consolarmi.

22 Io altresì ti celebrerò col saltèro, celebrerò la tua verità, o mio Dio! A te salmeggerò con la cetra, o Santo d’Israele!

23 Le mie labbra giubileranno, quando salmeggerò a te e l’anima mia pure, che tu hai riscattata.
