40:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for Yahweh; And he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
40:2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet on a rock, and established my goings. 40:3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: Many will see it, and fear, And will trust in Yahweh. 40:4 Blessed is the [noble] man who makes Yahweh his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 40:5 Many, O Yahweh my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, And your thoughts which are toward us; They can't be set in order to you; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more numerous than can be numbered. 40:6 Sacrifice and offering you have no delight in; My ears you have opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering you have not required. 40:7 Then I said, Look, I have come; In the roll of the book it is written of me: 40:8 I delight to do your will, O my God; Yes, your law is inside me. 40:9 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness in the great assembly; Look, I will not refrain my lips, O Yahweh, you know. 40:10 I have not hid your righteousness inside my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your loving-kindness and your truth from the great assembly. 40:11 Don't withhold your tender mercies from me, O Yahweh; Let your loving-kindness and your truth continually preserve me. 40:12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me; My 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 has failed me. 40:13 Be pleased, O Yahweh, to deliver me: Hurry to help me, O Yahweh. 40:14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together Who seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor Who delight in my hurt. 40:15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame Who say to me, Aha, aha. 40:16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you: Let such as love your salvation say continually, Yahweh be magnified. 40:17 But I am poor and needy; [Yet] the Lord thinks on me: You are my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God. |
