Mazmur 40:9

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.

[40:9]  ¹ sn The great assembly is also mentioned in Pss 22:25 and 35:18.

[40:9]  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.

[40:9]  ³ tn Heb “Look! My lips I do not restrain.”
