Salmos 39:7

7 Entonces, Señor, ¿dónde pongo mi esperanza?

Salmos 39:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 39:7

And now, Lord, what wait I for?
&c.] Look for, or expect, in this view of things? not long life, since the days of man are so short, and his age as nothing; not help from man, since he is altogether vanity; not riches and honour, since they are such poor, fading, perishing things; but the glories of another world, and the enjoyment of the Lord himself, both in this and that;

my hope [is] in thee;
the psalmist now returns to himself, and comes to his right mind, and to a right way of judging and acting; making the Lord the object of his hope and trust, expecting all good things, grace and glory, alone from him; and this is the hope which makes not ashamed.

Salmos 39:7 In-Context

5 La vida que me has dado no es más larga que el ancho de mi mano.
Toda mi vida es apenas un instante para ti;
cuando mucho, cada uno de nosotros es apenas un suspiro».
Interludio

6 Somos tan solo sombras que se mueven
y todo nuestro ajetreo diario termina en la nada.
Amontonamos riquezas
sin saber quién las gastará.

7 Entonces, Señor, ¿dónde pongo mi esperanza?
Mi única esperanza está en ti.

8 Rescátame de mis rebeliones.
No permitas que los necios se burlen de mí.

9 En silencio estoy delante de ti; no diré ni una palabra,
porque mi castigo proviene de ti.
