[Psalms 39](/study/psalms/39) [Psalms 41](/study/psalms/41) ## Commentary To verse 1 [Psalms 40:0](/kjv/psalms/40/0). *The benefit of confidence in God. Obedience is the best sacrifice. The sense of David's evils inflameth his prayer.* To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. ***Title.*****מזמור********לדוד********למנצח*********lamnatseach ledavid mizmor*****—** Though this psalm, in its primary sense, may be applicable to the sickness which God had inflicted on David, and the distress to which he was reduced by his enemies (see the two foregoing psalms), in devout thankfulness for deliverance from both of which he may here be supposed to declare his resolution to serve God cheerfully and faithfully; yet some passages in it may be much better applied to Christ's readiness to do the will of his Father. Certain it is, that part of the psalm at least was prophetical, and related to our Saviour, to whom it is applied by the apostle.
