Psalms 40:1-17

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,

A Psalm
<04210>

of David
<01732>.>>

I waited
<06960> (8765)

patiently
<06960> (8763)

for the LORD
<03068>_;

and he inclined
<05186> (8799)

unto me, and heard
<08085> (8799)

my cry
<07775>_.

He brought me up
<05927> (8686)

also out of an horrible
<07588>

pit
<0953>_,

out of the miry
<03121>

clay
<02916>_,

and set
<06965> (8686)

my feet
<07272>

upon a rock
<05553>_,

[and] established
<03559> (8790)

my goings
<0838>_.

And he hath put
<05414> (8799)

a new
<02319>

song
<07892>

in my mouth
<06310>_,

[even] praise
<08416>

unto our God
<0430>_:

many
<07227>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

[it], and fear
<03372> (8799)_,

and shall trust
<0982> (8799)

in the LORD
<03068>_.

Blessed
<0835>

[is] that man
<01397>

that maketh
<07760> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

his trust
<04009>_,

and respecteth
<06437> (8804)

not the proud
<07295>_,

nor such as turn aside
<07750> (8802)

to lies
<03577>_.

Many
<07227>_,

O LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

[are] thy wonderful
<06381> (8737)

works [which] thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_,

and thy thoughts
<04284>

[which are] to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order
<06186> (8800)

unto thee: [if] I would declare
<05046> (8686)

and speak
<01696> (8762)

[of them], they are more
<06105> (8804)

than can be numbered
<05608> (8763)_.

Sacrifice
<02077>

and offering
<04503>

thou didst not desire
<02654> (8804)_;

mine ears
<0241>

hast thou opened
<03738> (8804)_:

burnt offering
<05930>

and sin offering
<02401>

hast thou not required
<07592> (8804)_.

Then said
<0559> (8804)

I, Lo, I come
<0935> (8804)_:

in the volume
<04039>

of the book
<05612>

[it is] written
<03789> (8803)

I delight
<02654> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)

thy will
<07522>_,

O my God
<0430>_:

yea, thy law
<08451>

[is] within
<08432>

my heart
<04578>_.

I have preached
<01319> (8765)

righteousness
<06664>

in the great
<07227>

congregation
<06951>_:

lo, I have not refrained
<03607> (8799)

my lips
<08193>_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

thou knowest
<03045> (8804)_.

I have not hid
<03680> (8765)

thy righteousness
<06666>

within
<08432>

my heart
<03820>_;

I have declared
<0559> (8804)

thy faithfulness
<0530>

and thy salvation
<08668>_:

I have not concealed
<03582> (8765)

thy lovingkindness
<02617>

and thy truth
<0571>

from the great
<07227>

congregation
<06951>_.

Withhold
<03607> (8799)

not thou thy tender mercies
<07356>

from me, O LORD
<03068>_:

let thy lovingkindness
<02617>

and thy truth
<0571>

continually
<08548>

preserve
<05341> (8799)

For innumerable
<04557>

evils
<07451>

have compassed
<0661> (8804)

me about: mine iniquities
<05771>

have taken hold
<05381> (8689)

upon me, so that I am not able
<03201> (8804)

to look up
<07200> (8800)_;

they are more
<06105> (8804)

than the hairs
<08185>

of mine head
<07218>_:

therefore my heart
<03820>

faileth
<05800> (8804)

Be pleased
<07521> (8798)_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

me: O LORD
<03068>_,

make haste
<02363> (8798)

to help
<05833>

Let them be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

and confounded
<02659> (8799)

together
<03162>

that seek
<01245> (8764)

after my soul
<05315>

to destroy
<05595> (8800)

it; let them be driven
<05472> (8735)

backward
<0268>

and put to shame
<03637> (8735)

that wish
<02655>

me evil
<07451>_.

Let them be desolate
<08074> (8799)

for a reward
<06118>

of their shame
<01322>

that say
<0559> (8802)

unto me, Aha
<01889>_,

aha
<01889>_.

Let all those that seek
<01245> (8764)

thee rejoice
<07797> (8799)

and be glad
<08055> (8799)

in thee: let such as love
<0157> (8802)

thy salvation
<08668>

say
<0559> (8799)

continually
<08548>_,

The LORD
<03068>

be magnified
<01431> (8799)_.

But I [am] poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>_;

[yet] the Lord
<0136>

thinketh
<02803> (8799)

upon me: thou [art] my help
<05833>

and my deliverer
<06403> (8764)_;

make no tarrying
<0309> (8762)_,

O my God
<0430>_.
