Psalm 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).

Psalm 40:13 In-Context

11 Lord, do not withhold Your compassion from me; Your constant love and truth will always guard me.

12 For troubles without number have surrounded me; my sins have overtaken me; I am unable to see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my courage leaves me.

13 Lord, be pleased to deliver me; hurry to help me, Lord.

14 Let those who seek to take my life be disgraced and confounded. Let those who wish me harm be driven back and humiliated.

15 Let those who say to me, "Aha, aha!" be horrified because of their shame.
