Psaume 40:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 40:8

I delight to do thy will, O my God
This he came down from heaven to do, and this he did do, by preaching the Gospel, and working miracles; and above all by obtaining eternal redemption for his people, which he effected by fulfilling the law, becoming a sacrifice, and suffering and dying in their room; all which were the will of God, and grateful to him, and in doing which Christ took the utmost delight and pleasure, ( John 4:34 ) ( Luke 12:50 ) ;

yea, thy law [is] within my heart;
either the whole moral law, under which he was, as man, and the surety of his people; and which was written upon his heart, and which he perfectly obeyed; or that particular law, injunction, and command laid upon him by his Father, to offer himself a sacrifice, and lay down his life for men; which he agreed to, had it in his mind, his heart was set upon it, and he cheerfully complied with it, ( John 10:18 ) ( 14:31 ) .

Psaume 40:8 In-Context

6 Éternel, mon Dieu, tu as multiplié tes merveilles et tes pensées en notre faveur; nul ne peut être comparé à toi. Veux-je les publier et les dire? Elles sont trop nombreuses pour les raconter.

7 Tu ne prends plaisir ni au sacrifice, ni à l'offrande; tu m'as percé les oreilles; tu ne demandes point d'holocauste, ni de sacrifice pour le péché.

8 Alors j'ai dit: Voici, je viens; il est écrit de moi dans le rouleau de ton livre.

9 Mon Dieu, j'ai pris plaisir à faire ta volonté, et ta loi est au-dedans de mes entrailles.

10 J'ai annoncé ta justice dans la grande assemblée; voici, je ne tiens pas mes lèvres fermées, tu le sais, ô Éternel!
