SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:57
Sea con nosotros el SEÑOR nuestro Dios, como fue con nuestros padres; y no nos desampare, ni nos deje;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 57. The Lord our God be with us as he was with our fathers , etc.] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and those that came out of Egypt, and especially that entered into the land of Canaan under Joshua, and subdued it; as the Lord had been with them to guide and direct them, protect and defend them, succeed and prosper them, so Solomon desires he might be with them: nothing is more desirable than the presence of God; Solomon could not have prayed for a greater blessing for himself and his people; the Targum is, “let the Word of the Lord our God be for our help, as he was for the help of our fathers:” let him not leave us, nor forsake us : this was no doubt a prayer of faith, founded upon a divine promise, ( Joshua 1:5).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 54-61 - Never was a congregation dismissed with what was more likely to affec them, and to abide with them. What Solomon asks for in this prayer, is still granted in the intercession of Christ, of which his supplicatio was a type. We shall receive grace sufficient, suitable, an seasonable, in every time of need. No human heart is of itself willin to obey the gospel call to repentance, faith, and newness of life walking in all the commandments of the Lord, yet Solomon exhorts the people to be perfect. This is the scriptural method, it is our duty to obey the command of the law and the call of the gospel, seeing we have broken the law. When our hearts are inclined thereto, feeling ou sinfulness and weakness, we pray for Divine assistance; thus are we made able to serve God through Jesus Christ.
