Psalm 40:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 40:9

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation
Not the righteousness which the law requires men to do; but the righteousness which Christ himself wrought out, for the justification of them that believe; this he was a preacher, as well as the author of, and is part of the glad tidings he was anointed to preach, ( Isaiah 61:1 ) ; and the word F14 here used signifies, for the most part, the publishing of good tidings; and this our Lord did publicly, before all the people, in the synagogues of the Jews, and in the temple, whither the people in great numbers resorted; especially at the three great festivals in the year; the feasts of passover, pentecost, and tabernacles, when all the males were obliged to appear, and made up a great congregation indeed; see ( John 2:23 ) ( John 5:1 John 5:14 ) ( 8:2 ) ( 18:20 ) ;

lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest;
Christ appeals to his divine Father, the searcher of hearts, and trier of reins, for the truth of this; that he had not laid any restraint upon his lips, nor kept back anything in his ministry that was profitable; but had taught the way of God in great integrity and sincerity; had opened his mouth, and spoke freely and fully, and used great plainness of speech.

Psalm 40:9 In-Context

7 Da sprach ich: Siehe, ich komme; in der Rolle des Buches steht von mir geschrieben.
8 Dein Wohlgefallen zu tun, mein Gott, ist meine Lust; und dein Gesetz ist im Innern meines Herzens.
9 Ich habe die Gerechtigkeit verkündet in der großen Versammlung; siehe, meine Lippen hemmte ich nicht Jehova, du weißt es!
10 Deine Gerechtigkeit habe ich nicht verborgen im Innern meines Herzens; deine Treue und deine Rettung habe ich ausgesprochen, deine Güte und deine Wahrheit nicht verhehlt vor der großen Versammlung.
11 Du, Jehova, halte deine Erbarmungen nicht von mir zurück; deine Güte und deine Wahrheit laß beständig mich behüten!
