Salmi 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 ) .

Salmi 40:8 In-Context

6 Tu non prendi piacere né in sacrifizio né in offerta; tu m’hai aperto gli orecchi. Tu non domandi né olocausto né sacrifizio per il peccato.

7 Allora ho detto: Eccomi, vengo! Sta scritto di me nel rotolo del libro.

8 Dio mio, io prendo piacere a far la tua volontà, e la tua legge è dentro al mio cuore.

9 Io ho proclamato la tua giustizia nella grande assemblea; ecco, io non tengo chiuse le mie labbra, tu lo sai, o Eterno.

10 Io non ho nascosto la tua giustizia entro il mio cuore; ho narrato la tua fedeltà e la tua salvezza; non ho celato la tua benignità né la tua verità alla grande assemblea.
