40:1 |
{To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.} I waited patiently for Jehovah; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
|
40:2 |
And he brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock; he hath established my goings:
|
40:3 |
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, praise unto our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall confide in Jehovah.
|
40:4 |
Blessed is the man that hath made Jehovah his confidence, and turneth not to the proud, and to such as turn aside to lies.
|
40:5 |
Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak [them], they are more than can be numbered.
|
40:6 |
Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire: ears hast thou prepared me. Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not demanded;
|
40:7 |
Then said I, Behold, I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me --
|
40:8 |
To do thy good pleasure, my God, is my delight, and thy law is within my heart.
|
40:9 |
I have published righteousness in the great congregation: behold, I have not withheld my lips, Jehovah, *thou* knowest.
|
40:10 |
I have not hidden thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
|
40:11 |
Withhold not thou, Jehovah, thy tender mercies from me; let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
|
40:12 |
For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head: and my heart hath failed me.
|
40:13 |
Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; Jehovah, make haste to my help.
|
40:14 |
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;
|
40:15 |
Let them be desolate, because of their shame, that say unto me, Aha! Aha!
|
40:16 |
Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee; let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified!
|
40:17 |
But I am afflicted and needy: the Lord thinketh upon me. Thou art my help and my deliverer: my God, make no delay.
