Commentary on Psalms 40:17

The psalm concludes with paradoxical confession: David is 'poor and needy' yet the LORD 'thinketh upon me.' The Hebrew chashav (think, account, reckon) indicates intentional, ongoing attention from God. Despite David's inadequacy, he is not forgotten. The closing petition 'make no tarrying, O my God' expresses urgent trust without demanding immediate resolution.
