Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 40:1

1. I waited patiently for the LORD, and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Heb. I[illegible: 1+ letters] waiting I waited, which doubling of the Word, notes that he waited diligently and earnestly, patiently, and perseveringly, until God should please to help him.

Or, [illegible: 1+ letters]wed, to wit, himself, as this very Word is rendred, Iudg. 16. 30. or, his Ear, as it is more fully expressed, Psal. 17. 6. and 31. 2. Such Ellipses or Defects, are frequent in Scripture, as Psal. 3. 6. and 10. 1. E[illegible: 1+ letters]les. 6. 3. and 7. 15.
