Salmos 40:4

4 Bienaventurado el hombre que puso á Jehová por su confianza, Y no mira á los soberbios, ni á los que declinan á la mentira.

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 E hízome sacar de un lago de miseria, del lodo cenagoso; Y puso mis pies sobre peña, y enderezó mis pasos.

3 Puso luego en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza á nuestro Dios. Verán esto muchos, y temerán, Y esperarán en Jehová.

4 Bienaventurado el hombre que puso á Jehová por su confianza, Y no mira á los soberbios, ni á los que declinan á la mentira.

5 Aumentado has tú, oh Jehová Dios mío, tus maravillas; Y tus pensamientos para con nosotros, No te los podremos contar: Si yo anunciare y hablare de ellos, No pueden ser enarrados.

6 Sacrificio y presente no te agrada; Has abierto mis oídos; Holocausto y expiación no has demandado.
