**I waited**
The 40th Psalm speaks of Messiah, Jehovah's Servant, obedient unto death. The Psalm begins with the joy of Christ in resurrection ([Psalms 40:1](../../../kjv/psalms/40/1); [Psalms 40:2](../../../kjv/psalms/40/2)). He has been in the horrible pit of the grave, but has been brought up. Verses 3-5 are His resurrection testimony, His "new song." Verses 6 and 7 are retrospective. When sacrifice and offering had become abominable because of the wickedness of the people [Isaiah 1:10-15](../../../kjv/isaiah/1/10-15) then the obedient Servant came to make the pure offering ; [Psalms 40:7-17](../../../kjv/psalms/40/7-17); [Hebrews 10:5-17](../../../kjv/hebrews/10/5-17). See Psalm 41., next in order of the Messianic Psalms.
