Psalms 38:15 - Exposition

For in thee, O Lord, do I hope. Thus I acted, because my hope was in thee. I looked for thy interposition. I knew that thou wouldst "maintain my right, and my cause" ( Psalms 9:4 ) in thine own good time and in thine own good way. I said to myself in my heart, Thou wilt hear —or rather, thou wilt answer (Revised Version)— O Lord my God; and I was content to leave my defence to thee.
