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 ADONAI, don't withhold your mercy from me. Let your grace and truth preserve me always.

12 For numberless evils surround me; my iniquities engulf me - I can't even see; there are more of them than hairs on my head, so that my courage fails me.

13 Be pleased, ADONAI, to rescue me! ADONAI, hurry and help me!

14 May those who seek to sweep me away be disgraced and humiliated together. May those who take pleasure in doing me harm be turned back and put to confusion.

15 May those who jeer at me, "Aha! Aha!" be aghast because of their shame.
