Context of Psalms 40:3
1I was patient while I waited for the Lord to help me. He turned towards me, and he heard me when I called to him. 2He lifted me out of the deep hole of danger. He picked me up out of the mud. He put my feet on a rock. Then I could walk and not slip. He gave me a new song to sing. It was a song to praise our God. Many people will see what God has done to help me. Then they will respect and obey him. Yes, they will trust in the Lord. 4If anyone trusts in the Lord he blesses them! They do not expect proud people to help them. They do not join with those people who worship false gods. 5Lord, my God, you have done many great things. You have done so many things for us that we cannot count them! There is nobody else like you! I want to talk about the things that you have done, but there are too many things to speak about!

Commentaries on Psalms 40:3
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3A new song - Cheerfulness and joy had long been strangers to him. He seemed to live to utter the most doleful complaints, and be a prey to suffering and wretchedness. Praise for a sense of God's favor was a new song to him. The word is often used to signify excellence: I will sing a most excellent and eminent song. Many shalt see it - I will publish it abroad and fear-to sin against the Lord, knowing by my example what a grievous and bitter thing it is…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3And he hath put a new song in my mouth - See the notes at Psalm 33:3. The idea is, that he had given a new or fresh “occasion” for praise. The deliverance was so marked, and was such an addition to former mercies, that a new expression of thanks was proper. It was an act of such surprising intervention on the part of God that the language used on former occasions, and which was adapted to express the mercies then received, would not be sufficient to…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-171-3. The figures for deep distress are illustrated in Jeremiah's history (Jr 38:6-12). Patience and trust manifested in distress, deliverance in answer to prayer, and the blessed effect of it in eliciting praise from God's true worshippers, teach us that Christ's suffering is our example, and His deliverance our encouragement (He 5:7, 8; 12:3; 1Pe 4:12-16). inclined--(the ear, Psa 17:6), as if to catch the faintest sigh.Read the comment
