Psalm 40 starts with the speaker saying he waited patiently AND expectantly for the Lord. We were in a pit of misery, but God heard us and set our feet upon the rock, keeping our steps steady. He knows the path reserved for us and He helps us along the way.
Verse 8 is very powerful, for it says to take delight to do God's will.
Also, since us as Christians know the Good News, do not keep it to yourself. Share in the news, either through words or actions. Do not conceal from others the goodness that the Lord has done for you.
We may be in great need and afflicted by some malady. At the very close of the psalm, it reads, "O my God, do not delay." We do not want God to delay his thoughtfulness of us. But we also must not delay in reading about his Word, about His Son Christ Jesus, and the good He does in the world.
