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 )
