Psalm 39:7

7 »Y ahora, Señor, ¿qué esperanza me queda?¡Mi esperanza he puesto en ti!

Psalm 39:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 39:7

And now, Lord, what wait I for?
&c.] Look for, or expect, in this view of things? not long life, since the days of man are so short, and his age as nothing; not help from man, since he is altogether vanity; not riches and honour, since they are such poor, fading, perishing things; but the glories of another world, and the enjoyment of the Lord himself, both in this and that;

my hope [is] in thee;
the psalmist now returns to himself, and comes to his right mind, and to a right way of judging and acting; making the Lord the object of his hope and trust, expecting all good things, grace and glory, alone from him; and this is the hope which makes not ashamed.

7 »Y ahora, Señor, ¿qué esperanza me queda?¡Mi esperanza he puesto en ti!
