Psalms 87:16 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 87

\\<>\\. Whether this psalm was composed by David, in a view of the temple to be built by his son Solomon; or whether by one that returned from the Babylonish captivity, who wrote it for the comfort of those that wept at the laying of the foundation of the second temple; it seems evident that the subject matter of it is the church of God in Gospel times, and especially in the latter day glory: the title in the Syriac version is, ``concerning the redemption of Jerusalem.''

Psalms 87:16 In-Context

14 et ego ad te Domine clamavi et mane oratio mea praeveniet te
15 ut quid Domine repellis orationem meam avertis faciem tuam a me
16 pauper sum ego et in laboribus a iuventute mea exaltatus autem humiliatus sum et conturbatus
17 in me transierunt irae tuae et terrores tui conturbaverunt me
18 circuierunt me sicut aqua tota die circumdederunt me simul
