Psalms 40:9

I have told the great assembly ¹  about your justice. ²  Look! I spare no words! ³  O Lord, you know this is true.

Ps 22:22,25; Ps 35:18; Ps 71:15-18; Ps 119:13,171,172; Ps 139:2; Mr 16:15,16; Lu 4:16-22; Joh 21:17; Heb 2:12

¹ sn The great assembly is also mentioned in Pss 22:25 and 35:18.

² tn Heb “I proclaim justice in the great assembly.” Though “justice” appears without a pronoun here, the Lord’s just acts are in view (see v. 10). His “justice” (צֶדֶק, tsedeq) is here the deliverance that originates in his justice; he protects and vindicates the one whose cause is just.

³ tn Heb “Look! My lips I do not restrain.”
