me? |
Psalms 119:84-87
_ _ The shortness of my life requires that the relief afforded to me from mine enemies should be speedy. |
Psalms 119:84
_ _ Here, I. David prays against the instruments of his troubles, that God would make haste to execute judgment on those that persecuted him. He prays not for power to avenge himself (he bore no malice to any), but that God would take to himself the vengeance that belonged to him, and would repay (Romans 12:19), as the God that sits in the throne judging right. There is a day coming, and a great and terrible day it will be, when God will execute judgment on all the proud persecutors of his people, tribulation to those that troubled them; Enoch foretold it (Jude 1:14), whose prophecy perhaps David here had an eye to; and that day we are to look for and pray for the hastening of. Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly. 2. He pleads the long continuance of his trouble: “How many are the days of thy servant? The days of my life are but few” (so some); “therefore let them not all be miserable, and therefore make haste to appear for me against my enemies, before I go hence and shall be seen no more.” Or rather, “The days of my affliction are many; thou seest, Lord, how many they be; when wilt thou return in mercy to me? Sometimes, for the elect's sake, the days of trouble are shortened. O let the days of my trouble be shortened; I am thy servant; and therefore, as the eyes of a servant are to the hand of his master, so are mine to thee, until thou have mercy on me.” |
Psalms 119:84
The days — The days of my life. I have but a little while to live; give me some respite before I die. |
Psalms 119:84
How many [are] the (c) days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
(c) How long will you afflict your servant. |

Psalms 39:4-5 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am]. ... Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.
Psalms 89:47-48 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? ... What man [is he that] liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
Psalms 90:12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom.
Job 7:6-8 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. ... The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no [more]: thine eyes [are] upon me, and I [am] not.

- when:
Psalms 7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.

And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
