SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:29
Ahora pues, quiere, y bendice a la casa de tu siervo, para que perpetuamente permanezca delante de ti; pues que tú, el SEÑOR Dios, lo has dicho, y con tu bendición será bendita la casa de tu siervo para siempre.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant , etc.] Not according to the merits of him or his family, but according to the sovereign will and pleasure of God; the Targum is, begin and bless; let the promised blessings begin to descend, that there may be some appearance of the performance of the promise, which may give encouragement that the whole will be fulfilled: that it may continue for ever before thee ; under his care and protection: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken [it] ; whose words never fall to the ground, but have a sure accomplishment: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever ; even both with temporal and spiritual blessedness.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-29 - David's prayer is full of the breathings of devout affection towar God. He had low thoughts of his own merits. All we have, must be looke upon as Divine gifts. He speaks very highly and honourably of the Lord's favours to him. Considering what the character and condition of man is, we may be amazed that God should deal with him as he does. The promise of Christ includes all; if the Lord God be ours, what more can we ask, or think of? Eph 3:20. He knows us better than we know ourselves; therefore let us be satisfied with what he has done for us What can we say more for ourselves in our prayers, than God has sai for us in his promises? David ascribes all to the free grace of God Both the great things He had done for him, and the great things He ha made known to him. All was for his word's sake, that is, for the sak of Christ the eternal Word. Many, when they go to pray, have their hearts to seek, but David's heart was found, that is, it was fixed gathered in from its wanderings, entirely engaged to the duty, an employed in it. That prayer which is from the tongue only, will no please God; it must be found in the heart; that must be lifted up an poured out before God. He builds his faith, and hopes to speed, upo the sureness of God's promise. David prays for the performance of the promise. With God, saying and doing are not two things, as they ofte are with men; God will do as he hath said. The promises of God are no made to us by name, as to David, but they belong to all who believe in Jesus Christ, and plead them in his name __________________________________________________________________
