40:1 |
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD;he inclined to me and heard my cry.
|
40:2 |
He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
|
40:3 |
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.
|
40:4 |
Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods!
|
40:5 |
Thou hast multiplied, O LORD my God, thy wondrous deeds and thy thoughts toward us;none can compare with thee! Were I to proclaim and tell of them, they would be more than can be numbered.
|
40:6 |
Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire;but thou hast given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering thou hast not required.
|
40:7 |
Then I said, 'Lo, I come;in the roll of the book it is written of me;
|
40:8 |
I delight to do thy will, O my God;thy law is within my heart.'
|
40:9 |
I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation;lo, I have not restrained my lips, as thou knowest, O LORD.
|
40:10 |
I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken of thy faithfulness and thy salvation;I have not concealed thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation.
|
40:11 |
Do not thou, O LORD, withhold thy mercy from me, let thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness ever preserve me!
|
40:12 |
For evils have encompassed me without number;my iniquities have overtaken me, till I cannot see;they are more than the hairs of my head;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 put to shame and confusion altogether who seek to snatch away my life;let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire my hurt!
|
40:15 |
Let them be appalled because of their shame who say to me, 'Aha, Aha!'
|
40:16 |
But may all who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee;may those who love thy salvation say continually, 'Great is the LORD!'
|
40:17 |
As for me, I am poor and needy;but the Lord takes thought for me. Thou art my help and my deliverer;do not tarry, O my God!
