Study Lenses

The verse centers on "loving-kindness", "come", "jehovah", "salvation", and "word". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "loving-kindness" and "come", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 40's "Behold I have longed after thy precepts..." into verse 42's "So shall I have wherewith to answer...", so "loving-kindness" and "come" belong inside that flow. In Psalms context, the local focus is worship, trust, the LORD's kingship, and covenant mercy.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "loving-kindness" and "come" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
