SEV Biblia, Chapter 55:7
Ciertamente huiría lejos; moraría en el desierto. (Selah.)
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 54:7
Verse 7. Would I wander far off ] He did escape; and yet his enemies were so near, as to throw stones at him: but he escaped beyond Jordan. 2 Sam. xvii. 22, 23. A passage in the Octavia of SENECA has been referred to as being parallel to this of David. It is in the answer of Octavia to the Chorus, Acts v., ver. 914-923.
Quis mea digne deflere potest Mala? Quae lacrymis nostris quaestus Reddet Aedon? cujus pennas Utinam miserae mihi fata darent! Fugerem luctus ablata meos Penna volucri, procul et coetus Hominum tristes sedemque feram.
Sola in vacuo nemore, et tenui Ramo pendens, querulo possem Gutture moestum fundere murmur.
My woes who enough can bewail? O what notes can my sorrows express? Sweet Philomel's self e'en would fail To respond with her plaintive distress.
O had I her wings I would fly To where sorrows I ne'er should feel more, Upborne on her plumes through the sky, Regions far from mankind would explore.
In a grove where sad silence should reign, On a spray would I seat me alone; In shrill lamentations complain, And in wailings would pour forth my moan.
J. B. CLARKE.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - In these verses we have, 1. David praying. Prayer is a salve for ever sore, and a relief to the spirit under every burden. 2. David weeping Griefs are thus, in some measure, lessened, while those increase tha have no vent given them. David in great alarm. We may well suppose his to be so, upon the breaking out of Absalom's conspiracy, and the falling away of the people. Horror overwhelmed him. Probably the remembrance of his sin in the matter of Uriah added much to the terror When under a guilty conscience we must mourn in our complaint, and eve strong believers have for a time been filled with horror. But none eve was so overwhelmed as the holy Jesus, when it pleased the Lord to pu him to grief, and to make his soul an offering for our sins. In his agony he prayed more earnestly, and was heard and delivered; trustin in him, and following him, we shall be supported under, and carrie through all trials. See how David was weary of the treachery an ingratitude of men, and the cares and disappointments of his hig station: he longed to hide himself in some desert from the fury an fickleness of his people. He aimed not at victory, but rest; a barre wilderness, so that he might be quiet. The wisest and best of men mos earnestly covet peace and quietness, and the more when vexed an wearied with noise and clamour. This makes death desirable to a chil of God, that it is a final escape from all the storms and tempests of this world, to perfect and everlasting rest.
