God's promises bring joy Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to You This phrase calls the "godly" to action, emphasizing the importance of prayer. The Hebrew word for "godly" is "חָסִיד" (chasid), which refers to those who are faithful, pious, and devoted to God. This term is often used to describe individuals who live in accordance with God's covenant, highlighting a life of righteousness and devotion. The call to "pray" underscores the intimate relationship between the believer and God, suggesting that prayer is not just a ritual but a vital communication with the Divine. Historically, prayer has been a cornerstone of Jewish and Christian practice, serving as a means to seek guidance, express gratitude, and request forgiveness. while You may be found Surely when great waters rise they will not come near him Shall every one.--Better, let every one. In a time . . .--See margin. The expression, "time of finding,"' is, of course, elliptical. The Authorised Version explains by Isa. Iv. 6; but Isaiah 45:8 would suggest that "forgiveness" or "acceptance" is the word to be supplied. More probably still some general word, as "goal" or "object," is required, the phrase being rendered by the LXX., "in the appointed time;" by the Vulg., "opportune." Surely.--This adds emphasis to the statement, whether we render after Proverbs 13:10, "only unto him," or as in Authorised Version. "He--the godly--is the man whom, when the floods rise, they shall not harm." The floods may either be an image of Divine judgment, as in Nahum 1:8, or of temptation and trial, as in Matthew 7:24-27. . . . Verse 6. - For this; or, because of this; i.e. on account of this experience of mine - this immediate following of the grant of forgiveness upon confession of sin - shall every one that is godly - i.e., that is sincere and earnest in religion, though he may be overtaken in a fault or surprised into a sin - pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found; literally, in a time of finding, which some understand as a time when God "finds," and visits, some iniquity in his servants, and others, as the Authorized Version, "in a time when thou art gracious, and allowest thyself to be found by those who approach thee." Surely in the floods of great waters they (i.e. the waters) shall not come nigh unto him; i.e. shall not approach such a man to injure him.Parallel Commentaries ...
