Psalm 39 reminds us how fragile our life is, and how powerful God is in making it end or last. The writer of this psalm opens by stating how gentle and cautious he is when speaking around those who don't believe, and just how hard that is. He wants to know his end, and prays that God will show it to him, for he doesn't understand the point of living like this anymore. He puts all trust and hope in the Lord and waits on the day of his deliverance.
Psalm 40 mentions how our faith in God can lead others to believe. "He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord (v. 3)." People follow by example, and I believe if outsiders see us praising and thanking a God who works miracles, they will want to be a part of it.
