Psalms 40
I
a
waited
patiently
for
the
Lord;
and
he
inclined
unto
me,
and
heard
my
cry.
2 He
brought
me
up
also
out
of
an
horrible
pit,
out
of
the
miry
clay,
and
set
my
feet
upon
a
a
rock,
and
established
my
goings.
3 And
he
hath
put
a
a
new
b
song
in
my
mouth,
even
praise
unto
our
God:
many
shall
see
it,
and
fear,
and
shall
trust
in
the
Lord.
4 Blessed
is
that
man
that
maketh
the
Lord
his
trust,
and
respecteth
not
the
proud,
nor
such
as
turn
aside
to
lies.
5 Many,
O
Lord
my
God,
are
thy
wonderful
a
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.
6 Sacrifice
and
offering
thou
didst
not
a
desire;
mine
ears
hast
thou
opened:
burnt
offering
and
sin
offering
hast
thou
not
required.
7 Then
said
I,
Lo,
I
come:
in
the
volume
of
the
book
it
is
written
of
me,
8 I
delight
to
a
do
thy
b
will,
O
my
God:
yea,
thy
law
is
within
my
heart.
9 I
have
preached
righteousness
in
the
great
congregation:
lo,
I
have
not
refrained
my
lips,
O
Lord,
thou
knowest.
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.
11 Withhold
not
thou
thy
tender
a
mercies
from
me,
O
Lord:
let
thy
lovingkindness
and
thy
truth
continually
preserve
me.
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
a
faileth
me.
13 Be
pleased,
O
Lord,
to
deliver
me:
O
Lord,
make
haste
to
help
me.
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.
15 Let
them
be
desolate
for
a
reward
of
their
a
shame
that
say
unto
me,
Aha,
aha.
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.
17 But
I
am
poor
and
needy;
yet
the
Lord
thinketh
upon
me:
thou
art
my
help
and
my
deliverer;
a
make
no
tarrying,
O
my
God.
