Psalms 40:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation (Psalms 22:22; Psalms 22:25; Psalms 35:18) - i:e., from the fully-perfected congregation of the redeemed. Christ, by His ministers, declares the salvation which has been purchased by Himself unto the glory of the Father, to all who have been, are, and shall be gathered into the Church. He finally shall lead the praises of the Church perfected. This last He speaks of as if it were already accomplished, so certain is its fulfillment.

Second part. Prayer for deliverance, resting upon the foundation laid in the first part.
