SEV Biblia, Chapter 40:8
El hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, me ha agradado; y tu ley está en medio de mis entrañas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 39:8
Verse 8. To do thy will ] God willed not the sacrifices under the law, but he willed that a human victim of infinite merit should be offered for the redemption of mankind. That there might be such a victim, a body was prepared for the eternal Logos, and in that body he came to do the will of God; that is, to suffer and die for the sins of the world. 1. Hence we see that the sovereign WILL of God is that Jesus should be incarnated; that he should suffer and die; or, in the apostle's words, taste death for every man; that all should believe on him, and be saved from their sins; for this is the WILL of God, our sanctification.
2. And as the apostle grounds this on the words of the Psalm, we see that it is the WILL of God that that system shall end; for as the essence of it is contained in its sacrifices, and God says he will not have these, and has appointed the Messiah to do his will, i.e., to die for men, hence it necessarily follows, from the psalmist himself, that the introduction of the Messiah into the world is the abolition of the law; and that his sacrifice is that which shall last for ever.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-10 - The psalmist foretells that work of wonder, redemption by our Lor Jesus Christ. The Substance must come, which is Christ, who must brin that glory to God, and that grace to man, which it was impossible the sacrifices should ever do. Observe the setting apart of our Lord Jesu to the work and office of Mediator. In the volume, or roll, of the boo it was written of him. In the close rolls of the Divine decrees an counsel, the covenant of redemption was recorded. Also, in all the volumes of the Old Testament something was written of him, Joh 19:28 Now the purchase of our salvation is made, the proclamation is sen forth, calling us to come and accept it. It was preached freely an openly. Whoever undertook to preach the gospel of Christ, would be under great temptation to conceal it; but Christ, and those he calls to that work, are carried on in it. May we believe his testimony, trus his promise, and submit to his authority.
