Psalm 131:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 131:3

Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.
] What he did himself, and found it good for him to do, that he knew was good for others, and therefore exhorts and encourages to it, to hope in the Lord and wait for his salvation; and which should be done constantly, and to the end of life, or till the thing hoped for is enjoyed; see ( Hebrews 3:6 ) ( 1 Peter 1:13 ) . Perhaps some respect is here had to the people of Israel, especially the friends of David, who were weary of Saul's government, and impatient to have David on the throne; whom he advises to wait patiently, and not take any indirect steps to bring it about, but leave it with God, and hope and trust in him; compare with this ( 1 Samuel 24:7 ) ( 1 Samuel 26:8 1 Samuel 26:9 ) ; (See Gill on Psalms 130:7).

Psalm 131:3 In-Context

1 Ein Stufenlied. Von David. Jehova! Nicht hoch ist mein Herz, noch tragen sich hoch meine Augen; und ich wandle nicht in Dingen, die zu groß und zu wunderbar für mich sind.

2 Habe ich meine Seele nicht beschwichtigt und gestillt? Gleich einem entwöhnten Kinde bei seiner Mutter, gleich dem entwöhnten Kinde ist meine Seele in mir.

3 Harre, Israel, auf Jehova, von nun an bis in Ewigkeit!
