psalms 40

1 - I waited patiently for The LORD.He turned to me, and heard my cry.
2 - He brought me up also out of a horrible pit,out of the miry clay.He set my feet on a rock,and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 - He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in The LORD.
4 - Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust,and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 - Many, The LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done,and your thoughts which are toward us.They can't be declared back to you.If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.
6 - Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire.You have opened my ears.You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
7 - Then I said, "Behold, I have come.It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
8 - I delight to do your will, my God.Yes, your law is within my heart."
9 - I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.Behold, I will not seal my lips, The LORD, you know.
10 - I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart.I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.
11 - Don't withhold your tender mercies from me, The LORD.Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12 - For innumerable evils have surrounded me.My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up.They are more than the hairs of my head.My heart has failed me.
13 - Be pleased, The LORD, to deliver me.Hurry to help me, The LORD.
14 - Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it.Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
15 - Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha! Aha!"
16 - Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let the LORD be exalted!"
17 - But I am poor and needy.May the Lord think about me.You are my help and my deliverer.Don't delay, my God.
