Psalm 40:1

1 Pacientemente esperé al SEÑOR, y se inclinó a mí, y oyó mi clamor

Psalm 40:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 40:1

I waited patiently for the Lord
Or "waiting I waited" {i}; which denotes continuance, constancy, and patience; and which Christ exercised in the garden, when he submitted himself entirely to the will of God; and on the cross, when he continued in sure hope and firm expectation of his help and assistance, though he was for a while forsaken by him; see ( Isaiah 50:7-9 ) ;

and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry;
both in the garden, by delivering him from fear of death; and on the cross, by upholding, helping, and assisting him, by carrying him through his sufferings and death, and raising him from the dead; see ( Isaiah 49:8 ) ( Hebrews 5:7 ) .

Psalm 40:1 In-Context

1 Pacientemente esperé al SEÑOR, y se inclinó a mí, y oyó mi clamor

2 Y me hizo sacar del pozo de la desesperación, del lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, y enderezó mis pasos

3 Y puso en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza a nuestro Dios. Verán esto muchos, y temerán, y esperarán en el SEÑOR

4 Bienaventurado el varón que puso al SEÑOR por su confianza, y no miró a los soberbios, ni a los que declinan a la mentira

5 Aumentado has tú, oh SEÑOR Dios mío, tus maravillas; y tus pensamientos para con nosotros, no te los podremos contar, anunciar, ni hablar; no pueden ser narrados
