PSALMS ยท Chapter 40
40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard
my cry.
40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry
clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my activities.
40:3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:
many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
40:4 Blessed is that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects
not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
40:5 Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done,
and your thoughts which are toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order
unto you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can
be numbered.
40:6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; mine ears have you
opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.
40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written
of me,
40:8 I delight to do your will, O my God: yea, your law is within my
heart.
40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I
have not refrained my lips, O LORD, you know.
40:10 I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared
your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your loving
kindness and your truth from the great congregation.
40:11 Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your
loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
40:12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities
have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more
than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart fails me.
40:13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help
me.
40:14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my
soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish
me evil.
40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto
me, Aha, aha.
40:16 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such
as love your salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
40:17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks upon me: you are
my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
