Psalms 40

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

To the choirmaster of David a psalm. Certainly I waited for Yahweh and he stretched out to me and he heard cry for help my.

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.

And he brought up me - from a pit of roaring from [the] mud of the mire and he set on a rock feet my he established steps my.

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.

And he put in mouth my - a song new praise to God our they will see many [people] so they may fear and they may trust in Yahweh.

4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

How blessed! [is] the man who he has made Yahweh trust his and not he has turned to proud people and [those who] fall away of falsehood.

5 Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They cannot be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

Many you have made - you - O Yahweh God my wonders your and plans your to us not - to compare to you I will declare and I will speak they are [too] numerous for recounting.

6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

Sacrifice and offering - not you desired ears you dug for me burnt offering and sin offering not you asked for.

7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.

Then I said here! I have come in [the] scroll of [the] book [it is] written on me.

8 I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

To do will your O God my I desire and law your [is] in [the] midst of inward parts my.

9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.

I have borne news righteousness - in [the] assembly great here! lips my not I restrain O Yahweh you 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.

Righteousness your not I have concealed - in [the] midst of heart my faithfulness your and salvation your I have spoken not I have hidden covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your to [the] assembly great.

11 Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

You O Yahweh not you will withhold compassion your from me covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your continually they 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.

For they have surrounded me - troubles until there not [was] number they have overtaken me iniquities my and not I am able to see they are numerous more than [the] hairs of head my and heart my it has abandoned me.

13 Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.

Be pleased O Yahweh to deliver me O Yahweh to help my make haste!

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.

May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [those who] seek life my to snatch away it may they be turned back backwards and may they be humiliated [the] [people] desirous of harm my.

15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”

May they be appalled on [the] consequence of shame their those [who] say to 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!”

May they exult and they may rejoice - in you all [those who] seek you may they say continually he is great Yahweh [those who] love salvation your.

17 But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.

And I - [am] poor and needy [the] Lord may he think to me [are] help my and deliverer my you O God my may not you delay.
