Psalm 40:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 40:1

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 ) .

Psalm 40:1 In-Context

1 Al Vencedor: Salmo de David. Pacientemente esper茅 al SE脩OR, y se inclin贸 a m铆, y oy贸 mi clamor.
2 Y me hizo sacar del pozo de la desesperaci贸n, del lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre pe帽a, y enderez贸 mis pasos.
3 Y puso en mi boca canci贸n nueva, alabanza a nuestro Dios. Ver谩n esto muchos, y temer谩n, y esperar谩n en el SE脩OR.
4 Bienaventurado el var贸n que puso al SE脩OR por su confianza, y no mir贸 a los soberbios, ni a los que declinan a la mentira.
5 Aumentado has t煤, oh SE脩OR Dios m铆o, tus maravillas; y tus pensamientos para con nosotros, no te los podremos contar, anunciar, ni hablar; no pueden ser narrados.
