George Leo Haydock, on Ps 39:4

“And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.”

“New. Excellent. (Haydock) — I was before uttering complaints, now I give thanks with joy, for my health and conversion. (Calmet) — Song. Hebrew, “Praise.” The penitent changes his language, which is no longer understood by worldlings. (Berthier) — Many. St. Augustine reads, the just, who take part in the welfare of their brethren, (Psalm xxxi. 11.) while the wicked are filled with alarm, at the ways of God; who humbles or exalts people as he pleases. (Calmet)”
