Psa 40:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : God filled David with joy. He says, “He has put a new song in my mouth—praise to our God” (Psalm 40:3 ). When God helps us in new ways, we should thank Him with new songs of praise. David’s happiness shows that God not only gives peace but also fills us with joy when we trust Him. This also points to Jesus, who was raised from the dead and now lives in joy and glory. v. 3 (continued), v. 4 : David hopes that his story will help others trust God. “Many will see and fear, and trust in the Lord ” (Psalm 40:3 ). He says, “Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies” (Psalm 40:4 ). Those who trust in God are truly happy. We should not depend on ourselves or on people who are proud or dishonest. Instead, we find real blessing in trusting God and His promises, not in our own strength or the approval of others (Romans 10:3 ).
