Salmos 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 ) .

Salmos 69:18 In-Context

16 Oyeme, Jehová, porque apacible es tu misericordia; Mírame conforme á la multitud de tus miseraciones.

17 Y no escondas tu rostro de tu siervo; Porque estoy angustiado; apresúrate, óyeme.

18 Acércate á mi alma, redímela: Líbrame á causa de mis enemigos.

19 Tú sabes mi afrenta, y mi confusión, y mi oprobio: Delante de ti están todos mis enemigos.

20 La afrenta ha quebrantado mi corazón, y estoy acongojado: Y esperé quien se compadeciese de mí, y no lo hubo: Y consoladores, y ninguno hallé.
