Psalms 40:4 Context
2He brought me vp also out of an horrible pit, out of the mirie clay, and set my feete vpon a rock, and established my goings. 3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, euen praise vnto our God: many shall see it, and feare, and shall trust in the Lord. 4Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his truste: and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turne aside to lies. 5Many, O Lord my God; are thy wonderfull workes which thou hast done, and thy thoughts, which are to vs ward: they cannot be reckoned vp in order vnto thee: if I would declare and speake of them, they are moe then can be numbred. 6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, mine eares hast thou opened: burnt offering and sinne-offering hast thou not required.

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 40:4
40:4 The proud - Or, the mighty, the great and proud potentates of the world, to whom most men are apt to look and trust. Turn - From God, in whom alone they ought to trust. To lies - To lying vanities, such as worldly power and wisdom, and riches, and all other earthly things, or persons, in which men are prone to trust: which are called lies, because they promise more than they perform.
