After the darkness; before His death: “Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished.” v.1. “He heard my cry”: separation from His Father is past v.2. “He brought me up”: separation from God is past; the experience of hell is over v.3. “He put a new song”: victory is proclaimed v.4. “The Lord is His trust”: the testimony of Jesus; promise to us v.5. “Thy wonderful works”: meditates on God’s creation and salvation – His works and words
PREPARED BODY (incarnation), v.6-8 v.6. Offerings and sacrifices were not desired nor required as true sacrifices for sin. They served as temporary atonement (covering). The greater sacrifice of the Lamb of God was required, but first, He must become a man. He did this as the Perfect Servant. The “boring of His ear” indicated complete submission to God. v.7. After He submitted to the Father’s will, He came to earth as it is written here and in Ps.119:89. His body was fully human but was free of inherent sin or genetic defects. His body was framed by God and placed in the virgin’s womb by the Spirit of God. Mary was a descendant of the line of Abraham and David. v.8. He delighted to do the Father’s will and God’s law was in His heart.
