Psalm 37-40 (Psalm 40 by David: My help & deliverer (His past…

- - - - I waited patiently for the Lord
    - - act
        
        HE set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure
        
        HE drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of miry bog
      - to his heart
        
        HE put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to my God
        
        HE inclined to me and heard my cry
    - - for evils have encompassed me beyond number
      - my iniquities have overtaken me
        and I cannot see
        
        they are more than the hairs of my head
        
        my heart fails me
  - - - O Lord, my God, You have multiplied Your wondrous deeds and Your thoughts toward us
        
        none can compare with You
        
        I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told
      - As for You, O Lord, You will not restrain Your mercy from me
      - Your faithfulness and steadfast love will ever preserve me
      - blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust
      - Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord
    - - You have not delighted in sacrifice and offering, but You have given me an open ear
        
        You have not required burnt offering and sin offering
        
        telling others about God's salvation and deliverance
        
        I have not hidden Your deliverance within my heart
        
        I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation
        
        I have not concealed Your faithfulness and Your steadfast love from the congregation
        
        O Lord, as You know, behold, I have not restrained my lips
        
        I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation
        
        Behold, I have come; (son of God?)
        
        it is written of me in the scroll of the book (Jesus Christ?)
        
        (Personally) I delight to do Your will, O my God
        
        Your law is within my heart
      - blessed is who does not turn to the proud or those who go astray after a lie
  - - - "Oh my God, You are my help and my deliverer, do not delay"
    - - dealing with his foes
        
        let those who seek to snatch away his life, be put to shame and disappointed altogether
        
        let those who delight in his hurt, be turned back and brought to dishonor
        
        let those who say to he "Aha" be appalled because of their shame
    - - But may all who seek You, rejoice and be glad in You
      - As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me
      - may those who love Your salvation, continually say, "Great is the Lord!"
- - - - be not envious of wrongdoers
      - reasons to support not be negative
        
        because it tends only to evil
        
        for the evildoers shall be cut off
        
        in just a little while, the wicked shall be no more
        
        but the wicked will perish
        
        the enemies of God will vanish away like smoke
        
        those who cursed by God shall be cut off
        
        but the children of the wicked shall be cut off
        
        but the transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
        
        for they will soon fade like the grass and wither like green herb
        
        he will not be there
        
        You will look on when the wicked are cut off
        
        I have seen a wicked and ruthless man spreading himself like a green laurel tree. But, he passed away and he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found
        
        the transgressors shall be altogether destroyed
        
        but the Lord laughs at the wicked for he sees that his day is coming
        
        their sword shall enter their own heart
        
        their bows shall be broken
        
        for the arms of the wicked shall be broken
      - not fret yourself because of evildoers
        
        forsake wrath
        
        refrain from anger
        
        because it tends only to evil
        
        not fret over those who prosper in his way or carries out evil devices
    - - trust in the Lord & do good
        
        commit your way to God & trust in Him & He will act
        
        the steps of a man are established by God when he delights in His way
        
        the law of his God' is in his heart; his steps do not slip
        
        be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him
        
        wait for God and keep his way
        
        because they take refuge in God
      - dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness
      - Delight yourself in the Lord and HE will give you the desires of your heart
      - reasons to support to be positive in response
        
        but those who wait for God, shall inherit the land
        
        for those blessed by God shall inherit the land
        
        the righteous shall inherit the land and dwell forever
        
        HE will exalt you to inherit the land
        
        the meek shall inherit the land & delight themselves in abundant peace
        
        HE will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your justice as the noonday
        
        God knows the days of the blamesless
        
        they are not put to shame in evil times
        
        they have abundance in the days of famine
        
        their heritage remains forever
        
        turn away from evil and do good
        
        so you shall dwell forever
        
        they are preserved forever
        
        for there is a future for the man of peace
        
        I have been young and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread
        
        he is ever lending generously & his children become a blessing
        
        the righteous is generous and gives
        
        but the Lord upholds the righteous
        
        the Lord will not abandon him to the wicked's power
        
        (the Lord will not) let him be condemned when he is brought to trial
        
        the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord
        
        HE is their stronghold in the time of trouble
        
        the Lord helps them and delivers them; HE delivers them from the wicked and saves them
        
        As God upholds his hand, he will not cast headlong even in a fall
        
        for the Lord loves justice so HE will not forsake His saints
        
        the mouth of the righteous utters wisdom & his tongue speaks justice
        
        Better is little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked
      - mark the blameless and behold the upright
  - - - sword to the heart of the wicked
- - - - O Lord, rebuke me not in Your anger
        
        Nor discipline me in Your wrath
      - For Your arrows have sunk into me
        
        Your hand has come down on me
        
        for my iniquities have gone over my head
        
        like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me
    - - there is no health in my bones because of my sin
      - my wounds sting and fester because of my foolishness
      - for my sides are filled with burning
      - I am feeble and crushed
        
        my strength fails me
        
        but I am like a deaf man; I do not hear and in whose mouth are no rebukes
      - for I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me
    - - all the day I go about mourning
        
        I groan because of the tumult of my heart
        
        My sighing is not hidden from You
        
        My heart throbs
        
        the light of my eyes has gone from me
    - - my friends and companions stand aloof from my plague
        
        his nearest kin stand far off
    - - those who render evil for good, accuse me because I follow after good
      - those who seek my life lay snares
      - those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long
      - but my foes are vigorous, they are mighty
      - those who hate me wrongfully are many
  - - - O Lord, all my longing is before You
        
        O Lord, do not forsake me
        
        O my God, be not far from me
      - but for You O Lord do I wait;
        it is You, O Lord who will answer
        
        requested
        
        only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips
        
        O my Lord, my salvation, make haste to help me
- - - - I said, "I will guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongue;"
        
        I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence
    - - As I mused, the fire burned and then I spoke with my tongue
    - - and now, O Lord, what do I do wait?
      - my hope is in You
  - - - Behold, You have made my days like a few handbreadths
        
        for I am a sojourner with You, a guest like all my fathers
        
        My lifetime is as nothing before God
      - all mankind stands surely as a mere breath
        
        surely all mankind is a mere breath
      - surely a man goes about as a shadow
        
        man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather
        
        surely they are in turmoil for nothing
      - let me know how fleeting I am
    - - personal: deliver me from all my transgressions
        
        I am spent by the hostility of Your hand
        
        When You discipline a man with rebukes for sin, You consume what is dear to him like a moth
        
        I am mute and do not open my mouth for it is You who have done it
        
        remove Your stroke from me
      - social: do not make the scorn of the fool
    - - not hold Your peace at my tears
      - look away from me, that I may smile again, before I depart, and am no more
