Salmos 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 ) .

Salmos 40:8 In-Context

6 Sacrifício e oferta não desejas; abriste-me os ouvidos; holocauto e oferta de expiação pelo pecado não reclamaste.

7 Então disse eu: Eis aqui venho; no rolo do livro está escrito a meu respeito:

8 Deleito-me em fazer a tua vontade, ó Deus meu; sim, a tua lei está dentro do meu coração.

9 Tenho proclamado boas-novas de justiça na grande congregação; eis que não retive os meus lábios;

10 Não ocultei dentro do meu coração a tua justiça; apregoei a tua fidelidade e a tua salvação; não escondi da grande congregação a tua benignidade e a tua verdade.
