Psa.|40:Title|-|To the choir director. A |a|Psalm of David
Psa.|40:1|-|I waited patiently on Jehovah,And He inclined to me
And heard my cry.
Psa.|40:2|-|Then He brought me up out of a pit of destruction,Out of the miry clay;
And He set my feet upon a rock,Establishing my steps.
Psa.|40:3|-|Then He put a |a|new song in my mouth,A praise to our God.
Many see it and fear,And they trust in Jehovah.
Psa.|40:4|-||1a|Blessed is the manWho makes Jehovah his trust
And does not turn to the proudOr to those who turn aside after deception.
Psa.|40:5|-|Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful deeds which You have doneAnd Your |a|thoughts toward us;
They cannot be set in order unto You.Were I to declare and speak of them,
They would be too numerous to recount.
Psa.|40:6|-||1a|You do not delight in |2b|sacrifice and |2|offering;You have |3|prepared |c|ears for Me;
You do not require burnt offering and sin offering.
Psa.|40:7|-|Then I said,Behold, I have |1|come;
In the |2|scroll of the bookIt is written concerning Me.
Psa.|40:8|-|I delight in doing Your will, O My God;Indeed Your law is within My |a|inward parts.
Psa.|40:9|-|I bear tidings of righteousnessIn the great |a|congregation.
Behold, I will not withhold My lips;O Jehovah, You know.
Psa.|40:10|-|I have not hidden Your righteousnessWithin My heart;
I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great
congregation.
Psa.|40:11|-|You, O Jehovah, do not withholdYour compassions from me;
May Your lovingkindness and Your truthPreserve me continually.
Psa.|40:12|-|For evils encompass me until they cannot be counted;My iniquities have so overtaken me
That I cannot see;They are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
Thus my heart fails me.
Psa.|40:13|-||a|Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me;O Jehovah, hasten to help me.
Psa.|40:14|-||a|May those who seek my life to destroy itBe put to shame and confounded together;
May those who take delight in my misfortuneBe turned back and humiliated.
Psa.|40:15|-|May those who say to me, |a|Aha! Aha!Be desolate because of their shame.
Psa.|40:16|-|May all those who seek YouBe glad and rejoice in You;
May those who love Your salvation say continually,May Jehovah be |a|magnified!
Psa.|40:17|-|But I am poor and needy;May the Lord think about me.
You are my help and my Deliverer;O my God, do not delay.
