Key Reflection

In Psalms 38:15, the psalmist expresses profound trust and reliance on God ("the LORD") as a source of hope and deliverance.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

For in thee, O Lord, do I hope -This shows the reason or ground of his patience. He committed his whole cause to God. He believed that God would take care of his reputation, and that he would vindicate him. SeePsalms 37:5-6. He had no doubt that He would protect his character, and that, notwithstanding the reproaches of his enemies, his true character would at last be made to shine forth, so that all men would see that he had been unjustly aspersed.
