Psalms 40:9-17
told <01319> [preached.]
spare <03607> [not.]
know <03045> [thou knowest.]
failed <03680> [not hid.]
justice <06666> [righteousness.]
reliability <0530> [faithfulness.]
deliverance <08668> [salvation.]
loyal love <02617> [lovingkindness.]
withhold <03607> [Withhold.]
From this verse to the end, we have quite a new subject; for the former contains a thanksgiving, and this contains a supplication. It is nearly the same as the seventieth, and probably formed a distinct Psalm.
loyal love <02617> [let thy.]
innumerable <04557> [innumerable.]
sins ................ head <05771 07218> [mine.]
outnumber <06105> [they are.]
strength <03820> [heart.]
fails <05800> [faileth. Heb. forsaketh.]
<07521> [Be.]
hurry <02363> [make.]
embarrassed <0954> [Let them be ashamed.]
The verbs in the preceding verse, in which the psalmist simply prays for deliverance, are in the imperative; but here, and in the following verses, they are in the future tense, and naturally express the language of lively faith and hope, rather than that of wishing the destruction foreseen and predicted.
snatch away ............ want <01245 02655> [that.]
turned <05472> [driven.]
humiliated <08074> [desolate.]
say <0559> [say.]
seek <01245> [all.]
love <0157> [love.]
say <0559> [say.]
oppressed <06041> [I am poor.]
Lord <0136> [the Lord.]
helper <05833> [help.]
delay <0309> [make.]
