Salmos 71:21

21 Aumentarás mi grandeza, Y volverás á consolarme.

Salmos 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.

Salmos 71:21 In-Context

19 Y tu justicia, oh Dios, hasta lo excelso; Porque has hecho grandes cosas: Oh Dios, ¿quién como tú?

20 Tú, que me has hecho ver muchas angustias y males, Volverás á darme vida, Y de nuevo me levantarás de los abismos de la tierra.

21 Aumentarás mi grandeza, Y volverás á consolarme.

22 Asimismo yo te alabaré con instrumento de salterio, Oh Dios mío: tu verdad cantaré yo á ti en el arpa, Oh Santo de Israel.

23 Mis labios cantarán cuando á ti salmeare, Y mi alma, á la cual redimiste.
