Salmos 40:4

4 Dichoso el que pone su confianza en el SEÑORy no recurre a los idólatrasni a los que adoran dioses falsos.

Salmos 40:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 40:4

Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust
For such are safe and secure in him, are possessed of all blessings of grace through him, have peace in their own souls now, and shall enjoy eternal happiness with him hereafter;

and respecteth not the proud;
such as the Pharisees, and all self-righteous persons, who trust in themselves and their own righteousness, submit not to the righteousness of Christ, and despise others; to these such who trust in Christ have no respect; they neither esteem them, nor imitate them;

nor such as turn aside to lies;
to idols, the lying vanities of the Gentiles; or to any doctrines injurious to the person, office, blood, righteousness, sacrifice, and grace of Christ; which are no other than lies, and which those who believe in Christ have no respect to, but abhor both them and the abettors of them.

Salmos 40:4 In-Context

2 Me sacó de la fosa de la muerte,del lodo y del pantano;puso mis pies sobre una roca,y me plantó en terreno firme.

3 Puso en mis labios un cántico nuevo,un himno de alabanza a nuestro Dios.Al ver esto, muchos tuvieron miedoy pusieron su confianza en el SEÑOR.

4 Dichoso el que pone su confianza en el SEÑORy no recurre a los idólatrasni a los que adoran dioses falsos.

5 Muchas son, SEÑOR mi Dios,las maravillas que tú has hecho.No es posible enumerartus bondades en favor nuestro.Si quisiera anunciarlas y proclamarlas,serían más de lo que puedo contar.

6 A ti no te complacen sacrificios ni ofrendas,pero has abierto mis oídos para oírte;tú no has pedido holocaustosni sacrificios por el pecado.
