(Psa 40:1) I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
(Psa 40:2) He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, {and} established my goings.
(Psa 40:3) 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 the Lord.
(Psa 40:4) Blessed {is} that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
(Psa 40:5) Many, O Lord my God, {are} thy wonderful works {which} thou hast done, and thy thoughts {which are} to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: {if} I would declare and speak {of them}, they are more than can be numbered.
(Psa 40:6) Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
(Psa 40:7) Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book {it is} written of me,
(Psa 40:8) I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law {is} within my heart.
(Psa 40:9) I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.
(Psa 40:10) 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 congregation.
(Psa 40:11) Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
(Psa 40:12) For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
(Psa 40:13) Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.
(Psa 40:14) 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.
(Psa 40:15) Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
(Psa 40:16) Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
(Psa 40:17) 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.
