40:1 |
To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,
|
40:2 |
And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation -- from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.
|
40:3 |
And He putteth in my mouth a new song, `Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.
|
40:4 |
O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.
|
40:5 |
Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
|
40:6 |
Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.
|
40:7 |
Then said I, `Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,
|
40:8 |
To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.
|
40:9 |
I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.
|
40:10 |
Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.
|
40:11 |
Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.
|
40:12 |
For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.
|
40:13 |
Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.
|
40:14 |
They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.
|
40:15 |
They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, `Aha, aha.'
|
40:16 |
All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, `Jehovah is magnified.'
|
40:17 |
And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.
