10<\/strong>. Neither indolence nor ingratitude nor fear of man has deterred him from openly celebrating those fundamental attributes of the divine character which have been once more manifested in his deliverance. For thy righteousness<\/em>, see Psa 5:8<\/span>, note; for lovingkindness, faithfulness, righteousness<\/em>, cp. Psa 36:5-7<\/span>; Psa 36:10<\/span>; for truth<\/em> and salvation<\/em>, Psa 25:5<\/span>; lovingkindness<\/em> and truth<\/em>, Psa 25:10<\/span>.<\/p>\n I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart – <\/B>The word righteousness here may denote the divine views on the subject of righteousness, or the divine method of making man righteous; that is, the method of justification, as the word is used in the New Testament. See the notes at Rom 1:17<\/span>. The word, as it might have been employed by David, would have been used in the former sense, as meaning that, knowing what God requires of men, he had not concealed that in his heart, or had not kept it to himself; as used by the Messiah, as I suppose it to be here, it would be employed in the latter sense, or perhaps embrace both. The idea would be, that he had not concealed in his own mind, or had not kept to himself, the knowledge which he had of the requirements of the law of God, or of the way in which man can be justified or regarded and treated as righteous in his sight. He had fully communicated this knowledge to others. It is not necessary to say that this was literally fulfilled in the work of the Redeemer. He spent his life in making known the great truths about the righteousness of God; he died that he might disclose to man a way by which God could consistently regard and treat men as righteous. See the notes at Rom 3:24-26<\/span>.<\/P> I have declared thy faithfulness – <\/B>Thy truthfulness; I have showed that God is worthy of confidence. And thy salvation. Thy method of salvation, or of saving men.<\/P> I have not concealed thy loving kindness – <\/B>Thy mercy or thy merciful disposition toward men. He had shown to the human race that God was a merciful Being; a Being who would pardon sin.<\/P> And thy truth – <\/B>The truth which thou hast revealed; the truth on all subjects which it was important for men to understand.<\/P> From the great congregation – <\/B>That is, as in Psa 40:9<\/span>, the assembled multitudes – the throngs that gathered to hear the words of the Great Teacher. Compare Mat 5:1<\/span>; Mat 13:2<\/span>; Luk 8:4<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 10<\/span>. Thy faithfulness<\/B><\/I>] This means the exact fulfilment of the promises made by the prophets relative to the incarnation of Christ, and the opening of the door of faith to the Gentiles<\/I>.<\/P> <\/P> Loving-kindness<\/B><\/I>] Shows the gift itself of Jesus Christ, the highest proof that God could give to a lost world of his mercy,<\/I> kindness<\/I>, and loving-kindness<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; <\/B>I had it there, Psa 40:8<\/span>, but I did not smother or shut it up there, but spread it abroad for thy glory, and the good of the world; which thou hast wrought both for me and by me. <\/P> <\/p>\n I have not not hid thy righteousness within my heart<\/strong>,…. Meaning not the essential righteousness of God, though that was abundantly declared in the wounds, sufferings, and death of Christ; and which was the end indeed of his being a propitiation for sin, Ro 3:25<\/span>; but his own righteousness, as before, which he wrought out, and brought in; and which is called the righteousness of God his Father, because it is approved of by him, and accepted with him, and which he imputes to all his people;<\/p>\n I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation<\/strong>: trial is, the “faithfulness” of God in executing all his purposes, counsels, and decrees, which are said to be faithfulness and truth; and in fulfilling his covenant and promises, relating to the redemption and salvation of men by Christ; and in the mission of Christ into this world on that account; and in the accomplishment of all the prophecies of the Old Testament concerning him; and in making good all the particular promises of support, help, and strength, made to the Messiah himself: and by his “salvation” is meant, that which is of God the Father’s appointing, continuing, and settling, in the council and covenant of grace; which he sent his Son to be the author of, and which he has obtained; and is the great doctrine of the Gospel preached by himself, and his faithful ministers, Lu 19:9<\/span>;<\/p>\n I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation<\/strong>; or “in the great congregation”, as the Targum. By the “lovingkindness” of God is designed both his love to Christ, which was before the foundation of the world, and continued in his lowest state of humiliation, and which our Lord was far from concealing, but gave openly instances of it, Joh 17:24<\/span>; and this love to his people; and which he declared to be the same with that which he is loved with, and instances in the gift of himself to them by his Father, as the great evidence of it, Joh 17:23<\/span>; and by “truth” is intended the Gospel in general, which came by Christ, was preached by him, which he bore witness to, to do which was one end of his coming into the world; and this was not concealed by him, who is truth itself; but was fully and plainly declared by him, as it had not been before, Joh 1:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n The self-presentation before Jahve, introduced by , extends from to ; consequently yltn joins on to , and the which stands in the midst of perfects describes the synchronous past. The whole is a retrospect. , Arab. bssr <\/em> (root ), starting from its sensible primary signification to scrape off, scratch off, rub smooth, means: to smooth any one ( gltten<\/em>), Engl. to gladden one, i.e., vultum ejus diducere <\/em>, to make him joyful and glad, more especially to cheer one by good news (e.g., basharahu <\/em> or bashsharuhu bimauludin , bashsharuhu bi – mauludin <\/em>, he has cheered him by the intelligence of the birth of a son), in Hebrew directly equivalent to ( ). He has proclaimed to all Israel the evangel of Jahve’s justifying and gracious rule, which only changes into retribution towards those who despise His love; and he can appeal to the Omniscient One (Jer 15:15<\/span>), that neither through fear of men, nor through shame and indolence, has he restrained his lips from confessing Him. God’s conduct, in accordance with the prescribed order of redemption, is as a matter of fact called , and as an attribute of His holy love, ; just as is His faithfulness which fulfils the promises made and which does not suffer hope to be put to shame, and is His salvation as it is manifested in facts. This rich matter for the preaching of the evangel, which may be comprehended in the two words , the Alpha and Omega of God’s self-attestation in the course of the redemptive history, he has not allowed to slumber as a dead, unfruitful knowledge hidden deep down in his heart. The new song which Jahve put into his mouth, he has also really sung. Thus far we have the first part of the song, which renders thanks for past mercies.<\/p>\n 10 I have not hidden thy righteousness within my heart. Here it is necessary to observe the accumulation of terms which are employed to denote the same thing. To the righteousness of God the Psalmist adds his truth, his salvation, and his mercy. And what is the design of this, but to magnify and set forth the goodness of God by many terms or expressions of praise? We must, however, notice in what respects these terms differ; for in this way we may be able to ascertain in what respects they apply to the deliverance of which David here discourses. If these four things should be taken in their proper order, mercy will hold the first place, as it is that by which alone God is induced to vouchsafe, to regard us. His righteousness is the protection by which he constantly defends his own people, and the goodness by which, as we have already said elsewhere, he preserves them. And, lest any should doubt that it will flow in a constant and uninterrupted course, David adds in the third place truth; by which we are taught that God continues always the same, and is never wearied of helping us, nor at any time withdraws his hand. There is, at the same time, implied in this an exhibition of the promises; for no man will ever rightly take hold of the righteousness of God but he who embraces it as it is offered and held forth in the Word. Salvation is the effect of righteousness, for God continues to manifest his free favor to his people, daily affording them aid and assistance, until he has completely saved them. <\/p>\n Psa 40:10 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.<\/p>\n Ver. 10. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart<\/strong> ] Or, if he did, as Psa 119:11<\/span> , it was, that having wrought it first on his own affections, he might afterwards utter it a corde ad cor,<\/em> from the heart to the heart, and so be able to save himself and those that heard him. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have declared thy faithfulness, &c.<\/strong> ] See Psa 40:9<\/span> .<\/p>\n have not hid = did not hide. <\/p>\n salvation = or deliverance. <\/p>\n have not concealed = did not conceal. <\/p>\n from = in. <\/p>\n Psa 40:10-11<\/p>\n Psa 40:10-11<\/p>\n “I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;<\/p>\n I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation;<\/p>\n I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly.<\/p>\n Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah;<\/p>\n Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.”<\/p>\n As Jamieson said, “Christ’s prophetic office is taught here. The necessity for the people of God to bear witness to all men, in the fullest extent of their ability, is inherent in the words of these verses.<\/p>\n “I have not hid … I have declared … I have not concealed …” (Psa 40:10). “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so”! (Psa 107:2) is the marching order for every saved person on earth. A man who never speaks of his faith in God to others invites the question of whether or not he has any faith; and certainly it is the duty of all Christians, `not to hide, not to conceal,’ but to declare openly the salvation in Christ.<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n Psa 40:10. This also has the twofold application noted in the preceding verse. Both David and Christ imparted their knowledge of God to the people. <\/p>\n Psa 40:11. David came back to his personal needs, and, as he had so often done, prayed for the mercies of God. <\/p>\n not hid: Eze 2:7, Eze 3:17, Eze 3:18, Act 20:20, Act 20:21, Act 20:26, Act 20:27, Rom 10:9, Rom 10:10, 1Th 1:8, Rev 22:17 <\/p>\n righteousness: Rom 1:16, Rom 1:17, Rom 3:22-26, Rom 10:3, Phi 3:9 <\/p>\n faithfulness: Act 13:32, Act 13:33, Rom 15:8, Rom 15:9 <\/p>\n salvation: Isa 49:6, Luk 2:30-32, Luk 3:6, 1Ti 1:15 <\/p>\n lovingkindness: Psa 25:10, Psa 34:6, Mic 7:20, Joh 1:17, Joh 3:16, Joh 3:17 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Deu 6:7 – shalt talk Jos 1:8 – book 1Ki 8:65 – a great 1Ch 16:9 – talk ye 1Ch 16:23 – show forth Job 6:10 – have not concealed Psa 22:22 – in the Psa 22:25 – My praise Psa 35:18 – give Psa 48:9 – lovingkindness Psa 69:13 – in the Psa 71:15 – My mouth Psa 89:1 – with Psa 89:16 – righteousness Psa 96:2 – show Psa 107:32 – in the congregation Psa 111:1 – assembly Psa 118:17 – declare Psa 119:13 – I declared Psa 119:172 – tongue Psa 145:5 – will speak Ecc 10:12 – words Isa 48:6 – and will Isa 58:1 – spare Jer 42:4 – I will keep Mat 13:54 – he taught Mar 4:22 – General Joh 6:59 – in the Joh 7:26 – he speaketh Rom 3:25 – to declare Col 4:6 – your 1Th 5:24 – Faithful Heb 2:12 – in<\/p>\n 40:10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy {i} faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.<\/p>\n (i) David here numbers three degrees of our salvation: God’s mercy, by which he pities us, his righteousness which signifies his continual protection and his truth, by which appears his constant favour, so that from this our salvation proceeds.<\/p>\n 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. 10.
