Psalms 40

Psalms 40:1

I waited The 40th Psalm speaks of Messiah, Jehovah’s Servant, obedient unto death. The Psalm begins with the joy of Christ in resurrection (Psalms 40:1; Psalms 40:2). He has been in the horrible pit of the grave, but has been brought up. Psalms 40:3-5 are His resurrection testimony, His “new song.” Psalms 40:6-7 are retrospective. When sacrifice and offering had become abominable because of the wickedness of the people Isaiah 1:10-15 then the obedient Servant came to make the pure offering; Psalms 40:7-17; Hebrews 10:5-17. See Psalms 41, next in order of the Messianic Psalms.
