7 Y ahora, Señor, ¿qué esperaré? Mi esperanza en ti está.

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 He aquí como a palmos diste a mis días, y mi edad es como nada delante de ti; ciertamente es completa vanidad todo hombre que vive. (Selah.)

6 Ciertamente en tinieblas anda el hombre; ciertamente en vano se inquieta; allega, y no sabe quién lo cogerá.

7 Y ahora, Señor, ¿qué esperaré? Mi esperanza en ti está.

8 Líbrame de todas mis rebeliones; no me pongas por escarnio del loco.

9 Enmudecí, no abrí mi boca; porque tú lo hiciste.
