Salmos 72:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 72:13

He shall spare the poor and needy
Pity them, have mercy and compassion on them, and sympathize with them; such an one is Christ, a merciful King, as well as High Priest, who is touched with a feeling of his people's infirmities, and who in his love and pity has redeemed them;

and shall save the souls of the needy;
not to the exclusion of their bodies, which are also his care and charge, are bought with his blood, are preserved by him, will be raised from the dead, and made like his glorious body; but souls are mentioned as being the most excellent part of man, and which having sinned, are liable to damnation and the second death; and are therefore the special objects of redemption and salvation; these are saved by him from all their sins, and from wrath to come they deserve; hence his name is called "Jesus", a Saviour.

Salmos 72:13 In-Context

11 Y arrodillarse han á él todos los reyes; Le servirán todas las gentes.

12 Porque él librará al menesteroso que clamare, Y al afligido que no tuviere quien le socorra.

13 Tendrá misericordia del pobre y del menesteroso, Y salvará las almas de los pobres.

14 De engaño y de violencia redimirá sus almas: Y la sangre de ellos será preciosa en sus ojos.

15 Y vivirá, y darásele del oro de Seba; Y oraráse por él continuamente; Todo el día se le bendecirá.
