span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.31.1" class="versetxt"> Ipsi David intellectus. [Beati quorum remiss� sunt iniquitates,
et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
Beatus vir cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum,
nec est in spiritu ejus dolus.
Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea,
dum clamarem tota die.
Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua,
conversus sum in �rumna mea, dum configitur spina.
Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci,
et injustitiam meam non abscondi.
Dixi: Confitebor adversum me injustitiam meam Domino;
et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.
Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus
in tempore opportuno.
Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum,
ad eum non approximabunt.
Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione qu� circumdedit me;
exsultatio mea, erue me a circumdantibus me.
Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris;
firmabo super te oculos meos.
Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus,
quibus non est intellectus.
In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe,
qui non approximant ad te.
Multa flagella peccatoris;
sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
L�tamini in Domino, et exsultate, justi;
et gloriamini, omnes recti corde.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant,.... In which he prays for the gracious presence of God, the manifestations of himself unto him, the discoveries of his love, the enjoyment of him in Christ, communion with him, the comforts of his Spirit, and joys of his salvation; see Numbers 6:25;

save me for thy mercies' sake; not for any merit and righteousness of his own, but for the sake of the grace and goodness of the Lord; which is putting salvation, whether temporal or spiritual, upon its right foot and foundation; which is never wrought out by, or is for works of righteousness done by men, but according to the grace and mercy of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant - That is, show me thy favor, or be kind and merciful to me. See the notes at Psalms 4:6.

Save me for thy mercies’ sake - On account of thy mercy; or that thy mercy may be manifested. This is always a just ground of appeal to God by a sinner or a sufferer, that God would make our sins and trials an “occasion” for displaying his own character. There are, indeed, other grounds of appeal; but there is no one that is more pure or exalted than this.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 31:16. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant — Only let me know that thou art reconciled to and pleased with me, and then, come what will, all must be well.

Save me for thy mercies' sake. — Literally, Save me in thy mercy.
