	I agree that it is simply a song taken from Ps 40. From what i have read on it, is they recorded it while Adam was not in the studio (which makes sense seem Adam was not a Christian), i think Bono played bass for it.

	This song is a beautiful adaptation of Psalm 40:1-3, with a lovely addition as well. To me, it is a cry out to God, to relieve the opression and pain surrounding someone (or some people). It is a very human prayer, asking God "How long to sing this song?" and wondering how long the Lord will let His children suffer in this way. These lyrics remind me of how far from God we really are, how He knows everything and our humanity and sinfulness creates such a gap and that we couldn't possibly handle knowing the future as the Lord does. As the song continues, "I will sing, sing a new song," the good in human nature is also revealed. Bono's lyrics remind us that we are in charge of our own attitudes and outlooks, that we CAN choose to remain positive and peaceful amidst the chaos and cruelty around us, and in doing so, there will be rewards if we "wait patiently for the Lord."

	Its all very good to sit and debate the meaning of '40', but don't give Bono too much credit for writing it. It is from the Bible after all. And Bono has just 'rocked' it a bit. Being from the Bible it obviously still has many meanings and relevence for today

	Satan is infamous for taking Biblical quotes and twisting them to distort the truth. He did it nearly 2000 years ago when he threw scripture in Christ's face while trying to tempt Him. And he's done it many times since. Now, in 2006, here he is under the pen name "Theresa1" spewing the same nonsense. We're onto you Beelzebub. You can go on spouting your lies here, there's nothing to stop you. In fact we welcome them, for it is wise to know how our enemy thinks. But don't think you're pulling the wool over our eyes with the Biblical quotes. We know who you are - the king of lies.
