Psalm 40:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 40:1

I waited patiently for the Lord
Or "waiting I waited" {i}; which denotes continuance, constancy, and patience; and which Christ exercised in the garden, when he submitted himself entirely to the will of God; and on the cross, when he continued in sure hope and firm expectation of his help and assistance, though he was for a while forsaken by him; see ( Isaiah 50:7-9 ) ;

and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry;
both in the garden, by delivering him from fear of death; and on the cross, by upholding, helping, and assisting him, by carrying him through his sufferings and death, and raising him from the dead; see ( Isaiah 49:8 ) ( Hebrews 5:7 ) .

Psalm 40:1 In-Context

1 Au chef des chantres. De David. Psaume. J'avais mis en l'Eternel mon espérance; Et il s'est incliné vers moi, il a écouté mes cris.
2 Il m'a retiré de la fosse de destruction, Du fond de la boue; Et il a dressé mes pieds sur le roc, Il a affermi mes pas.
3 Il a mis dans ma bouche un cantique nouveau, Une louange à notre Dieu; Beaucoup l'ont vu, et ont eu de la crainte, Et ils se sont confiés en l'Eternel.
4 Heureux l'homme qui place en l'Eternel sa confiance, Et qui ne se tourne pas vers les hautains et les menteurs!
5 Tu as multiplié, Eternel, mon Dieu! Tes merveilles et tes desseins en notre faveur; Nul n'est comparable à toi; Je voudrais les publier et les proclamer, Mais leur nombre est trop grand pour que je les raconte.
