Psalms 40:17

But I am poor and needy ,.... As Christ was literally, 2 Corinthians 8:9 ; and in a spiritual sense, when deserted by his Father, forsaken by his disciples, and surrounded by his enemies; and had the sins of his people, the curse of the law, and the wrath of God upon him;

yet the Lord thinketh upon me ; thinketh good for me, as the Targum; or thinks highly of me; has me in great esteem though despised of men, and in such a suffering state;

thou art my help and my deliverer ; he believed he should have what he prayed for, Psalm 40:13 ; see Isaiah 50:7 ;

make no tarrying, O my God ; which is a repetition of the request in Psalm 40:13 .
