Verses related to Salmos, 40:

Psalm 40 is a song of gratitude and consecration. How does the psalmist respond to divine deliverance? This psalm of David begins with a testimony of rescue and ends with a plea for continued help. The text addresses topics such as patience in waiting for God, the proclamation of divine works and total surrender to God's will. Psalm 40 inspires a response of praise and obedience to God's grace. Consider with us five biblical passages that correlate with the gratitude expressed in this inspiring psalm.

Hebrews 10:5-7: "Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: 'Sacrifice and offering you did not want, but a body you prepared for me; you did not enjoy burnt offerings and sin offerings.' Then I said: Here I am, in the book it is written about me; I came to do your will, O God'." - The author of Hebrews directly quotes Psalm 40:6-8, applying it to Christ.

Acts 13:32-33: "We announce to you the good news: what God promised to our ancestors he fulfilled for us, their children, by resurrecting Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm: 'You are my son; I have begotten you today.'" - This passage exemplifies how the "new song" mentioned in Psalm 40:3 can refer to the gospel.

James 5:11: "As you know, we consider those who show perseverance to be happy. You have heard about Job's patience and seen the end the Lord brought him. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy." - The perseverance mentioned here reflects the patient waiting described in Psalm 40:1.

Revelation 5:9: "And they sang a new song: 'You are worthy to receive the book and to open its seals, for you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.'" - This "new song" in heaven echoes the "new song" mentioned in Psalm 40:3.

Romans 10:9: "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." - This passage about proclaiming faith relates to Psalm 40:9-10, where the psalmist speaks of proclaiming the righteousness of God.
