Salmos 40:11

11 Tú, SEÑOR, no detengas de mí tus misericordias; tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre

Salmos 40:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 40:11

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord
this is a petition of Christ to his Father, when in the midst of his sorrows and sufferings, before related; and particularly when he hid his face from him, and withheld the discoveries of his tender and affectionate love;

let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me;
as he had promised; of which promise some notice is given, ( Isaiah 49:8 ) , in the fulfilment of which the lovingkindness, truth, and faithfulness of God, would appear. Some read these words as expressive of faith in these things, "thou wilt not withhold" "thy lovingkindness and thy truth shall continually preserve me" ^F15.

Salmos 40:11 In-Context

9 He anunciado justicia en grande congregación; he aquí, no detuve mis labios, SEÑOR, tú lo sabes

10 No encubrí tu justicia en medio de mi corazón; tu verdad y tu salvación he declarado; no negué tu misericordia y tu verdad en grande ayuntamiento

11 Tú, SEÑOR, no detengas de mí tus misericordias; tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre

12 Porque me han cercado males hasta no haber cuanto; me han asido mis iniquidades, y no puedo ver; se han aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza, y mi corazón me falla

13 Quieras, oh SEÑOR, librarme; SEÑOR, apresúrate a socorrerme
