Ž 40, 1-17

1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 10 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. 11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. 14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. 15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. 16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. 17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Z 40 - Žalm je mesiášsky.

Z 40,7-11 - V týchto veršoch hovorí žalmista o spôsobe poďakovania za poskytnutú pomoc. Tvrdí, že človek sa môže najlepšie odvďačiť Bohu poslušnosťou, obetou ducha, a nie vonkajšími obetami, ktoré nestoja vonkoncom nič, ak pritom nepodriaďujeme svoju vôľu Božej vôli (Ž 51). "Nepraješ si,… nežiadaš", tieto výrazy neoznačujú v hebrejskej reči výlučne zápor, iba umenšujú, uberajú na dôležitosti veci, o ktorú ide."Vo zvitku"… príkaz plniť Božiu vôľu je napísaný v Písme.Pán žiada od svojho ľudu lásku a oddanosť (Dt 6,6; Prís 3,3; 7,3; Iz 51,7), ale jedine Kristus splnil dokonale tento príkaz a dal nám príklad, ako to máme robiť (Hebr 10,5-7; Jer 31,33; Jn 4,34; 6,38; 5,39; Lk 24,25-27 atď.).

Z 40,14-16 - Verše, čo nasledujú, sú aj v žalme 70. Poniektoré verše sa nachodia aj v žalme 35,4.21.27.
