Chapter 40

1

 

  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry. 

 

 


2

 

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

 

 


3

 

  And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 

 

 


4

 

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

 

 


5

 

  Many, O LORD, my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are toward us, they cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 

 

 


6

 

  Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required. 

 

 


7

 

  Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume 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 preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, 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 loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation. 

 

 


11

 

  Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 

 

 


12

 

  For innumerable evils have encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me. 

 

 


13

 

  Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. 

 

 


14

 

  Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. 

 

 


15

 

  Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha. 

 

 


16

 

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

 

 


17

 

  But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my God.
