Contextual Overview

55 I called vpon thy name O Lorde out of the deepe pit. 56 Thou hast heard my voyce, and hast not turned away thyne eares from my sighing and crying. 57 Thou hast inclyned thy selfe vnto me when I called vpon thee: and hast said, feare not. 58 Thou (O Lorde) hast mayntayned the cause of my soule, and hast redeemed my lyfe. 59 O Lorde, thou hast seene my wrong, take thou my cause vpon thee. 60 Thou hast well considered howe they go about to do me harme, and that all their counsels are against me. 61 Thou hast hearde their despitefull wordes O Lorde, yea and all the imaginations against me: 62 The lippes of mine enemies, and their deuises that they take against me al the day long. 63 Thou seest also their sitting downe and their rising vp, they make their songes of nothing but of me. 64 Rewarde them, O Lorde, according to the workes of their handes.

Bible Verse Review

thou hast pleaded: 1 Samuel 25:39, Psalms 35:1, Jeremiah 51:36

thou hast redeemed: Genesis 48:16, Psalms 34:22, Psalms 71:23, Psalms 103:4

Gill's Notes on the Bible

O Lord, thou hast pleaded the cause of my soul,.... Or, causes of "my soul", or "life" u; such as concerned his soul and life: not one only, but many of them; and this respects not Jeremiah only, and the Lord's pleading his cause against Zedekiah and his nobles; but the people of the Jews in former times, when in Egypt, and in the times of the judges:

thou hast redeemed my life; by delivering out of the pit and dungeon, where it was in danger; and not only him, but the whole body of the people of old out of Egypt, and out of the hands of their enemies, the Philistines and others.

u ריבי נפשי "causas animaa meae", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.
