Salmos 40:17 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 40:17

But I [am] poor and needy
As Christ was literally, ( 2 Corinthians 8:9 ) ; and in a spiritual sense, when deserted by his Father, forsaken by his disciples, and surrounded by his enemies; and had the sins of his people, the curse of the law, and the wrath of God upon him;

[yet] the Lord thinketh upon me;
thinketh good for me, as the Targum; or thinks highly of me; has me in great esteem though despised of men, and in such a suffering state;

thou [art] my help and my deliverer;
he believed he should have what he prayed for, ( Psalms 40:13 ) ; see ( Isaiah 50:7-9 ) ;

make no tarrying, O my God;
which is a repetition of the request in ( Psalms 40:13 ) .

Salmos 40:17 In-Context

15 Desolados sejam em razão da sua afronta os que me dizem: Ah! Ah!

16 Regozijem-se e alegrem-se em ti todos os que te buscam. Digam continuamente os que amam a tua salvação: Engrandecido seja o Senhor.

17 Eu, na verdade, sou pobre e necessitado, mas o Senhor cuida de mim. Tu és o meu auxílio e o meu libertador; não te detenhas, ó Deus meu.
