פירוש על תהילים 9:14

Be gracious to me, O Lord now in exile.

Have mercy upon me, Lord: – (The word חננני is) pointed with pathah under the heth, shewing that it is from the Piel, though undoubted, as (Gen. 42:21): אלינו בהתחננו

You Who raise me up with Your redemption.

See my affliction at the hands of them that hate me: – as Thou hast seen (me suffer) from this enemy – namely, Goliath.

Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: – for all were of opinion that I should fall at the hand of Goliath. The (phrase) gates of death means "near to death," as the gate is to the house.
