Psalms 40:13-16

Be pleased to deliver me From my sins, and the punishment due to them. Let them be ashamed For the disappointment of their hopes and designs. That seek after my soul That is, my life. Let them be desolate Or, They shall be desolate, or dismayed, or overthrown, as ישׁמו, jashommu, also signifies. For a reward of their shame That is, Their sinful and shameful actions, as shame is put for a shameful idol, Hosea 9:10, and as fear is often put for the evil feared. Let such as love thy salvation That great salvation of which the prophets inquired and searched diligently, and which the Redeemer undertook to work out, when he said, Psalms 40:7, Lo! I come. All that shall be saved love God's salvation, which is not only a salvation from hell, but a salvation from sin. Say continually, The Lord be magnified Let them have continual occasion to magnify Jehovah for his mercies vouchsafed to them.
