Psalms 40:13 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me - That is, in these troubles and sorrows. See Matthew 26:39. The prayer is that, if possible, the cup of sorrow might be taken away.

O Lord, make haste to help me - This is the same form of prayer, and referring, I suppose, to the same occasion as that which occurs in Psalms 22:19. See the notes at that verse.
