Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord (Jehovah).--Among the many explanations hazarded of this ejaculation the most probable is that given in the Speaker's Commentary, that the thought of the serpent wounding his prey in the heel carried the mind of the patriarch back to the fall of man, and the promise made to Eve. And thus it is a profession of faith, naturally called out by this chain of ideas, in the advent in due time of the promised Deliverer, and of which the accomplishment had become united in thought with the name of Jehovah.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewI awaitקִוִּ֥יתִי (qiw·wî·ṯî)Verb - Piel - Perfect - first person common singularStrong's 6960: To bind together, collect, to expectYour salvation,לִֽישׁוּעָתְךָ֖ (lî·šū·‘ā·ṯə·ḵā)Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 3444: Something saved, deliverance, aid, victory, prosperityO LORD.יְהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of IsraelJump to PreviousDeliverance Salvation Wait Waited Waiting
