¶ Y ahora, Señor, ¿qué esperaré? Mi esperanza en ti está.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 38:7

Verse 7. And now, Lord, what wait I for? ] Have I any object of pursuit in life, but to regain thy favour and thine image.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 7-13 - There is no solid satisfaction to be had in the creature; but it is to be found in the Lord, and in communion with him; to him we should be driven by our disappointments. If the world be nothing but vanity, ma God deliver us from having or seeking our portion in it. When creature-confidences fail, it is our comfort that we have a God to go to, a God to trust in. We may see a good God doing all, and orderin all events concerning us; and a good man, for that reason, says nothin against it. He desires the pardoning of his sin, and the preventing of his shame. We must both watch and pray against sin. When under the correcting hand of the Lord, we must look to God himself for relief not to any other. Our ways and our doings bring us into trouble, and we are beaten with a rod of our own making. What a poor thing is beauty and what fools are those that are proud of it, when it will certainly and may quickly, be consumed! The body of man is as a garment to the soul. In this garment sin has lodged a moth, which wears away, firs the beauty, then the strength, and finally the substance of its parts Whoever has watched the progress of a lingering distemper, or the wor of time alone, in the human frame, will feel at once the force of thi comparison, and that, surely every man is vanity. Afflictions are sen to stir up prayer. If they have that effect, we may hope that God wil hear our prayer. The believer expects weariness and ill treatment of his way to heaven; but he shall not stay here long : walking with God by faith, he goes forward on his journey, not diverted from his course nor cast down by the difficulties he meets. How blessed it is to sin loose from things here below, that while going home to our Father' house, we may use the world as not abusing it! May we always look for that city, whose Builder and Maker is God __________________________________________________________________
