Psalms 35:28 — y obediencia de toda mi vida para pagar la gran deuda que debo. ANÁLISIS DEL SALMO TREINTA Y QUINTO Este Salmo se puede dividir en tres partes: - I.

Psalms 69:35 — time of the captivity. There was no Zion belonging to the Jews in the time of Saul, when those suppose the Psalm to be written who make David the author; for David after he came to the throne, won the stronghold of Zion from the Jebusites. 2 Samuel 5:7; 1 Chronicles 11:5.Will build the cities of Judah — This refers to the return from the captivity, when all the destroyed cities should be rebuilt, and the Jews repossess their forfeited heritages. Some apply this to the redemption of the human

Psalms 69:35 — fija el Salmo al tiempo del cautiverio. No había Sión de los judíos en tiempo de Saúl , cuando suponen escrito el Salmo los que hacen de David el autor; porque David, después que subió al trono, ganó la fortaleza de Sión de los jebuseos.  2 Samuel 5:7 ; 1 Crónicas 11:5 . Edificará las ciudades de Judá. Esto se refiere al regreso del cautiverio, cuando todas las ciudades destruidas sean reconstruidas, y los judíos recuperen sus heredades perdidas. Algunos aplican esto a la redención de la raza humana;

Ezekiel 34:6 — power of the general disease. 4. Or, some are dying in a state of spiritual weakness. 5. Or, some are fallen into sin, and sorely bruised and broken in their souls by that fall. 6. Or, some have been driven away by some sore temptation or cruel usage. 7. Or, some have wandered from the flock, are got into strange pastures, and are perverted by erroneous doctrines. Or, 8. Some wolf has got among them, and scattered the whole flock. Now, the true shepherd, the pastor of God's choosing, knows-1. How to

Hosea 2:22 — grow in the earth; but cannot come to perfection, unless the earth be impregnated with the dews and rains from the clouds. They are therefore represented as imploring the heavens to collect their clouds, to pour down their fructifying moisture upon it.7. The clouds, or materials of which they are composed, not being able to arrange themselves, nor aggregate themselves so as to meet those demands, prevent drought, and maintain an effective vegetation, are represented as calling upon the heavens to form,

Hosea 2:22 — tierra; pero no pueden llegar a la perfección, a menos que la tierra sea impregnada con el rocío y las lluvias de las nubes. Por eso se les representa implorando a los cielos que recojan sus nubes, para que derramen sobre ella su humedad fructificadora. 7. Las nubes, o los materiales de que están compuestas, no siendo capaces de arreglarse a sí mismas, ni de agregarse a sí mismas para satisfacer esas demandas, prevenir la sequía, y mantener una vegetación efectiva, son representadas como implorando a

Acts 19:19 — the αργυριον, which we translate piece of silver, means a shekel, as that word is used Matthew 26:16, where see the note; 50,000 shekels, at 3s., according to Dean Prideaux's valuation, (which is that followed throughout this work,) would amount to 7,500£.But, as this was a Roman and not a Jewish country, we may rationally suppose that the Jewish coin was not here current; and that the αργυριον, or silver coin, mentioned by St. Luke, must have been either Greek or Roman; and, it is very likely that

Acts 6:6 — disciples, according to this criterion, are presented to the apostles for their approbation and confirmation.6. The apostles, receiving them from the hands of the Church, consecrated them to God by prayer, imploring his blessing on them and their labour.7. When this was done, they laid their hands upon them in the presence of the disciples, and thus appointed them to this sacred and important work; for it is evident they did not get their commission merely to serve tables, but to proclaim, in connection

1 Corinthians 12:8 — Lightfoot, Whitby, Pearce, and others. 1 Corinthians 12:8-10By doctrine of wisdom we may understand, as Bp. Pearce and Dr. Whitby observe, the mystery of our redemption, in which the wisdom of God was most eminently conspicuous: see 1 Corinthians 2:7; 1 Corinthians 2:10; and which is called the manifold wisdom of God, Ephesians 3:10. Christ, the great teacher of it, is called the wisdom of God, 1 Corinthians 1:24; and in him are said to be contained all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, Colossians

1 Corinthians 12:8 — Whitby, Pearce y otros. 1 Corintios 12:8 Por doctrina de la sabiduría podemos entender, como Bp. Pearce y el Dr. Whitby observan el misterio de nuestra redención , en el cual la sabiduría de Dios fue más eminentemente conspicua: ver 1 Corintios 2:7 ; 1 Corintios 2:10 ; y que se llama la multiforme sabiduría de Dios , Efesios 3:10 . Cristo, el gran maestro de ella, es llamado la sabiduría de Dios , 1 Corintios 1:24 ; y en él se dice que están contenidos todos los tesoros de la sabiduría y del

Teaches them the necessity of being well instructed and steady in Divine things, 14. Teaches how the body or Church of Christ is constituted, 15, 16. Warns them against acting like the Gentiles, of whose conduct he gives a lamentable description,

Hebrews 1:5 — Verse Hebrews 1:5. Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee — These words are quoted from Psalms 2:7, a psalm that seems to refer only to the Messiah; and they are quoted by St. Paul, Acts 13:33, as referring to the resurrection of Christ. And this application of them is confirmed by the same apostle, Romans 1:4, as by his resurrection from the dead

Hebrews 1:5 — verso Hebreos 1:5 _ Tú eres mi Hijo, yo te he engendrado hoy.. Estas palabras están citadas del Salmo 2:7 , un salmo que parece referirse únicamente al Mesías; y son citados por San Pablo, Hechos 13:33 , refiriéndose a la resurrección de Cristo . Y esta aplicación de ellos es confirmada por el mismo apóstol, Romanos 1:4 , ya que por su resurrección de

Hebrews 3:8 — they murmured for want of bread, and had the manna given them, Exodus 16:4. From the wilderness of Sin they journeyed to Rephidim, where they provoked God a second time for want of water, and insolently saying, Is the Lord God among us or not? Exodus 17:2-9, on which account the place was called Massah and Meribah. See "1 Corinthians 10:4", note 1. From Rephidim they went into the wilderness of Sinai, where they received the law, in the beginning of the third year from their coming out of Egypt. Here

2 Peter 3:5 — what the apostle means by δι υδατος, variously translated by out of, by means of, and between, the water.Standing out of the water gives no sense, and should be abandoned. If we translate between the waters, it will bear some resemblance to Genesis 1:6-7: And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of, bethoch, between, the waters; and let it divide the waters from the waters: and God divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; then it may
