Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 40:16

16. Let all those that seek thee, rejoyce and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified .

Either▪ [illegible: 1 word] Such as desire, and rejoyce in the Salvation, and Deliverance which thou givest to me and to others, of thy People: which was a great Eye-sore and Grie[illegible: 1+ letters] to the wicked. Or, 2. Such as expect and seek for their Salvation and Happiness, not from Idols, nor from their wicked Courses, nor from any Creatures, as other men do, but from the onely, and gladly accept and embrace that Salvation, which [illegible: 1 word] hast promised together, with the Conditions required to it, to wit, Faith and Repentance. Or, 3. Such as love thy Messias, upon whom both David's and other Holy Pro [illegible: 1+ letters], and Saints, Thoughts and Affections were much fixed, a is Evident from many places of Scripture, as Ioh. 8. 58. Act. 2. 30, 31. 1 Pet. 1. 10, 11. who is called the desire of all N[illegible: 1+ letters]tions, Hagg. 2. 7. and the Glory and Consolation of Israel, Luk. 2▪ 25. 32, yea and, by the very Title here used, God's Salvation, Isa. 62. 11. Luk. 2. 30. whose appearance or coming the Godly of all Ages, did Love and long for; and of whom David had so lately and clearly spoken, v. 6 7. &c. All which considered, this cannot seem a forced, or very far fetched Intepretation.

Let them have continual Occasion, to magnifie God for his Mercies vouchsafed to them.
