Psalms 40

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1

I  awaitedh6960a  1patientlyh6960a for the LORDh3068; And He inclinedh5186 to me and  bheardh8085 my cryh7775.

2

He broughth5927 me up out of the  apith953a of destructionh7588, out of the  1miryh3121 clayh2916, And  bHe seth6965 my feeth7272 upon a rockh5553  cmakingh3559 my footstepsh804a firmh3559.

3

He puth5414 a  anewh2319 songh7892a in my mouthh6310, a songh8416 of praiseh8416 to our Godh430; Manyh7227a will  bseeh7200 and fearh3372a And will trusth982 in the LORDh3068.

4

How  ablessedh835 is the manh1397 whoh834 has madeh7760 the LORDh3068 his trusth4009, And  bhas not  1turnedh6437 to the proudh7295, nor to those who  clapseh7750 into falsehoodh3577.

5

Manyh7227a, O LORDh3068 my Godh430, are  athe wondersh6381 which You have doneh6213a, And Your  bthoughtsh4284 towardh413 us; Thereh369 is noneh369 to compareh6186a with You. If I would declareh5046 and speakh1696 of them, They  cwould be tooh4480 numeroush6105a to counth5608.

6

 1 aSacrificeh2077 and mealh4503 offeringh4503 You have not desiredh2654a; My earsh241 You have  2openedh3738a; Burnth5930a offeringh5930a and sinh2401 offeringh2401 You have not requiredh7592.

7

Thenh227 I saidh559, "Beholdh2009, I comeh935; In the scrollh4039 of the bookh5612 it is  1writtenh3789 of me.

8

 aI delighth2654a to doh6213a Your willh7522, O my Godh430;  bYour Lawh8451 is withinh8432 my hearth4578."

9

I have  aproclaimedh1319 gladh1319 tidingsh1319 of righteousnessh6664 in the greath7227a congregationh6951; Beholdh2009, I will  bnot restrainh3607 my lipsh8193, O LORDh3068,  cYou knowh3045.

10

I have  anot hiddenh3680 Your righteousnessh6666 withinh8432 my hearth3820; I have  bspokenh559 of Your faithfulnessh530 and Your salvationh8668; I have not concealedh3582 Your lovingkindnessh2617a and Your truthh571 from the greath7227a congregationh6951.

11

You, O LORDh3068, will not withholdh3607 Your compassionh7356 from me;  1Your  alovingkindnessh2617a and Your truthh571 will continuallyh8548 preserveh5341 me.

12

For evilsh7463a beyondh5704h369 numberh4557 have  asurroundedh661 me; My  biniquitiesh5771 have overtakenh5381 me, so that I am not ableh3201 to seeh7200; They are  cmoreh4480 numeroush6105a thanh4480 the hairsh8185 of my headh7218, And my  dhearth3820 has  1failedh5800a me.

13

 aBe pleasedh7521, O LORDh3068, to deliverh5337 me; Makeh2363a  bhasteh2363a, O LORDh3068, to helph5833 me.

14

Let those be  aashamedh954 and humiliatedh3637 togetherh3162 Who  bseekh1245 my  1lifeh5315 to destroyh5595 it; Let those be turnedh5472 backh268 and dishonoredh3637 Whoh2655 delighth2655  2in my hurth7463a.

15

Let those  abe  1appalledh8074 becauseh5921h6118 of their shameh1322 Who  bsayh559 to me, "Ahah1889, ahah1889!"

16

 aLet allh3605 who seekh1245 You rejoiceh7797 and be gladh8055 in You; Let those who loveh157 Your salvationh8668  bsayh559 continuallyh8548, "The LORDh3068 be magnifiedh1431!"

17

Since  aI am afflictedh6041 and needyh34,  1 bLet the Lordh136 be mindfulh2803 of me. You are my helph5833 and my delivererh6403; Do not delayh309, O my Godh430.
