Psalm chapter 40

Bible Version
Book
Chapter
1
To the chiefH5329 Musician,H5329 A PsalmH4210 of David.H1732 I waitedH6960 patientlyH6960 for the LORD;H3068 and he inclinedH5186 to me, and heardH8085 my cry.H7775
2
He broughtH5927 me up also out of an horribleH7588 pit,H953 out of the miryH3121 clay,H2916 and setH6965 my feetH7272 on a rock,H5553 and establishedH3559 my goings.H838
3
And he has putH5414 a newH2319 songH7892 in my mouth,H6310 even praiseH8416 to our God:H430 manyH7227 shall seeH7200 it, and fear,H3372 and shall trustH982 in the LORD.H3068
4
BlessedH835 is that manH1397 that makesH7760 the LORDH3068 his trust,H4009 and respectsH6437 not the proud,H7295 norH3808 such as turnH7750 asideH7847 to lies.H3576
5
Many,H7227 O LORDH3068 my God,H430 are your wonderfulH6381 works which you have done,H6213 and your thoughtsH4284 which are to us-ward:H413 they cannotH408 be reckoned up in orderH6186 to you: if I would declareH5046 and speakH1696 of them, they are moreH6105 than can be numbered.H5608
6
SacrificeH2077 and offeringH4503 you did not desire;H2654 my earsH241 have you opened:H3738 burntH5930 offering and sinH2401 offering have you not required.H7592
7
ThenH227 saidH559 I, See,H2009 I come:H935 in the volumeH4039 of the bookH5612 it is writtenH3789 of me,
8
I delightH2654 to doH6213 your will,H7522 O my God:H430 yes, your lawH8451 is withinH8432 my heart.H4578
9
I have preachedH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregation:H6951 see,H2009 I have not refrainedH3607 my lips,H8193 O LORD,H3068 you know.H3045
10
I have not hidH3680 your righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heart;H3820 I have declaredH559 your faithfulnessH530 and your salvation:H8668 I have not concealedH3582 your loving kindnessH2617 and your truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregation.H6951
11
WithholdH3607 not you your tender merciesH7356 from me, O LORD:H3068 let your loving kindnessH2617 and your truthH571 continuallyH8548 preserveH5341 me.
12
For innumerableH369 H4557 evilsH7451 have compassedH661 me about: my iniquitiesH5771 have takenH5381 holdH5381 on me, so that I am not ableH3201 to lookH7200 up; they are moreH6105 than the hairsH8185 of my head:H7218 therefore my heartH3820 failsH5800 me.
13
Be pleased,H7521 O LORD,H3068 to deliverH5337 me: O LORD,H3068 make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me.
14
Let them be ashamedH954 and confoundedH2659 togetherH3162 that seekH1245 after my soulH5315 to destroyH5595 it; let them be drivenH5472 backwardH268 and put to shameH3637 that wishH2655 me evil.H7451
15
Let them be desolateH8074 for a rewardH6118 of their shameH1322 that sayH559 to me, Aha,H253 aha.H253
16
Let allH3605 those that seekH1245 you rejoiceH7797 and be glad in you: let such as loveH157 your salvationH8668 sayH559 continually,H8548 The LORDH3068 be magnified.H1431
17
But I am poorH6041 and needy;H34 yet the LordH136 thinksH2803 on me: you are my helpH5833 and my deliverer;H6403 make noH408 tarrying,H309 O my God.H430
