40:1 |
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 |
Happy are those who make the LORD their trust, who do not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods.
|
40:5 |
You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you. Were I to proclaim and tell of them, they would be more than can be counted.
|
40:6 |
Sacrifice and offering you do not desire, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.
|
40:7 |
Then I said, "Here I am; in the scroll of the book it is written of me.
|
40:8 |
I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
|
40:9 |
I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; see, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O LORD.
|
40:10 |
I have not hidden your saving help within my heart, I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.
|
40:11 |
Do not, O LORD, withhold your mercy from me; let your steadfast love and your faithfulness keep me safe forever.
|
40:12 |
For evils have encompassed me without number; my iniquities have overtaken me, until I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me.
|
40:13 |
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me.
|
40:14 |
Let all those be put to shame and confusion who seek to snatch away my life; let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire my hurt.
|
40:15 |
Let those be appalled because of their shame who say to me, "Aha, Aha!"
|
40:16 |
But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, "Great is the LORD!"
|
40:17 |
As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God.
