Psalms 40

David describes waiting patiently for YHWH, who inclined to him, heard his cry, and delivered him from a pit of destruction and miry clay, setting his feet upon a rock and putting a new song of praise in his mouth.[1][4] The psalm emphasizes trust in YHWH's deliverance, the psalmist's commitment to proclaim God's righteousness and wonderful works, and includes a passage interpreted messianically as the servant's willing submission to do God's will rather than offering sacrifices.[2][3]
