Chapter 40

1


 

   For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for Jehovah; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.  

 

 

-

2


 

  He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.  

 

 

-

3


 

  And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in Jehovah.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; They cannot be set in order unto thee; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of me:  

 

 

-

8


 

  I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart.  

 

 

-

9


 

  I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest.  

 

 

-

10


 

  I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.  

 

 

-

12


 

  For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me: Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified.  

 

 

-

17


 

  But I am poor and needy; [Yet] the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God.
