Psalm 40:5
<< Psalm 40:5 >>
New International Version (©1984)
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.

New Living Translation (©2007)
O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.

English Standard Version (©2001)
You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.

Wesley's Notes

King James Translators' Notes

they cannot...: or, none can order them unto thee

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. be reckoned up in order-(compare Ps 5:3; 33:14; Isa 44:7), too many to be set forth regularly. This is but one instance of many. The use of the plural accords with the union of Christ and His people. In suffering and triumph, they are one with Him.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

40:1-5 Doubts and fears about the eternal state, are a horrible pit and miry clay, and have been so to many a dear child of God. There is power enough in God to help the weakest, and grace enough to help the unworthiest of all that trust in him. The psalmist waited patiently; he continued believing, hoping, and praying. This is applicable to Christ. His agony, in the garden and on the cross, was a horrible pit and miry clay. But those that wait patiently for God do not wait in vain. Those that have been under religious melancholy, and by the grace of God have been relieved, may apply ver. 2 very feelingly to themselves; they are brought up out of a horrible pit. Christ is the Rock on which a poor soul can alone stand fast. Where God has given stedfast hope, he expects there should be a steady, regular walk and conduct. God filled the psalmist with joy, as well as peace in believing. Multitudes, by faith beholding the sufferings and glory of Christ, have learned to fear the justice and trust in the mercy of God through Him. Many are the benefits with which we are daily loaded, both by the providence and by the grace of God.


Job 5:9 Who does great and unsearchable things, Wonders without number.
Psalm 71:15 My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them.
Psalm 136:4 To Him who alone does great wonders, For His lovingkindness is everlasting;
Psalm 139:17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Psalm 139:18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
Isaiah 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. (NASB ©1995)
