Psalms 40:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 40:13

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me
From the innumerable evils which compassed him about; from sinful men, and from devils, signified by the sword, dog, and lion, ( Psalms 22:20 Psalms 22:21 ) ; and from the power and dominion of death and the grave; all which was done when he was raised from the dead, and as the fruit and effect of God's well pleasedness in him, and with what he did and suffered; see ( Psalms 22:8 ) ( 18:19 ) ;

O Lord, make haste to help me; (See Gill on Psalms 22:19).

Psalms 40:13 In-Context

11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me.

13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me: Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.

15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha.
