Daniël 9:17 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 9:17

Now therefore, O our God
This being our miserable case, and the seventy years' captivity being at an end, and thou still our covenant God, whom we profess and worship: hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications;
which he had put up in an humble manner, consisting of various petitions for grace and mercy before expressed: and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate;
the temple; its walls demolished, its altars thrown down, and the whole in ruins; a melancholy scene! the Lord, suffering these things, seemed to frown upon it, and upon his people, that used to serve him there; wherefore it is entreated that he would smile upon it again, and upon them, and cause it to be rebuilt, and his worship restored in it: and this is asked for the Lord's sake:
that is, for Christ's sake, who is Lord of all, especially of his chosen people, by creation, redemption, and marriage, as well as by their own consent and profession; and for whose sake, and in whose name, all requests are to be made to God, he being the only Mediator between God and man; and for the sake of whose blood, righteousness, and mediation, all the blessings of goodness are given unto men; and who also was Lord and proprietor of the temple, and was to come into it, as well as was the antitype of it.

Daniël 9:17 In-Context

15 En nu, o Heere, onze God! Die Uw volk uit Egypteland gevoerd hebt, met een sterke hand, en hebt U een Naam gemaakt, gelijk hij is te dezen dage; wij hebben gezondigd, wij zijn goddeloos geweest.
16 O Heere! naar al Uw gerechtigheden, laat toch Uw toorn en Uw grimmigheid afgekeerd worden van Uw stad Jeruzalem, Uw heiligen berg; want om onzer zonden wil en om onzer vaderen ongerechtigheden, zijn Jeruzalem en Uw volk tot versmaadheid bij allen, die rondom ons zijn.
17 En nu, o onze God! hoor naar het gebed Uws knechts, en naar zijn smekingen; en doe Uw aangezicht lichten over Uw heiligdom, dat verwoest is; om des HEEREN wil.
18 Neig Uw oor, mijn God! en hoor, doe Uw ogen op, en zie onze verwoestingen, en de stad, die naar Uw Naam genoemd is; want wij werpen onze smekingen voor Uw aangezicht niet neder op onze gerechtigheden, maar op Uw barmhartigheden, die groot zijn.
19 O Heere, hoor! o Heere, vergeef! o Heere, merk op en doe het, vertraag het niet! Om Uws Zelfs wil, o mijn God! Want Uw stad, en Uw volk is naar Uw Naam genoemd.
