This phrase reflects a posture of hope and trust in God's promise of salvation. The concept of "waiting" in the Hebrew context often implies an active, expectant patience, rather than passive idleness. This mirrors the faith of the patriarchs, such as Abraham, who "waited" for the fulfillment of God's promises ( Hebrews 11:9-10). The term "salvation" here can be understood both in a temporal sense, referring to deliverance from immediate troubles, and in an eschatological sense, pointing to the ultimate salvation through the Messiah. The use of "O LORD" (YHWH) emphasizes a personal relationship with God, invoking His covenant name, which is central to Israel's identity and faith. This phrase also connects to the broader biblical narrative of redemption, culminating in the New Testament revelation of Jesus Christ as the Savior ( Luke 2:30). and I carry out Your commandments
The psalmist's commitment to obedience underscores the inseparable link between faith and action. In the Hebrew tradition, the "commandments" (mitzvot) are not merely legalistic requirements but are seen as expressions of God's will and character. This reflects the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where obedience is a response to God's grace and a means of maintaining fellowship with Him. The psalmist's dedication to carrying out God's commandments aligns with the teachings of Jesus, who emphasized the importance of obeying God's word (John 14:15). This phrase also highlights the theme of righteousness, which is a recurring motif inPsalm 119, portraying the law as a guide for living a life pleasing to God. The psalmist's resolve to follow God's commandments, even while waiting for salvation, illustrates a life of faithfulness and integrity, serving as a model for believers. Persons / Places / Events 1.
