Verse 9...
I will thank You forever,
because You have done it.
I will wait for Your name, for it is good,
in the presence of the godly.
"You have done it" - You have breathed life into me. You have given me Your Word as a guide, Your Spirit as a comforter. You have given me victory over sin and death, and strength for the battle against indwelling sin.
Your name is good. Your name is matchless, beautiful, terrifying. I whisper, "Lord," as I worship and bow down at Your throne. I whisper, "Jesus," as I thank you for that free gift of salvation. I whisper, "Master," as I confess my willful straying from Your commands and return in repentance and renewed obedience, leaving broken cisterns to find satisfaction in the fountain of living waters.
I will wait.
"To wait on God is to live a life of desire towards Him, delight in Him, dependence on Him, and devotedness to Him. It is to set God always before us (Ps. 16:8). It is to have our eyes ever towards the Lord (Ps. 25:25). It is to acknowledge God in all our ways (Prov. 3:6). It is to follow the Lord fully, as Caleb did (Num. 14:24)." -- Matthew Henry
