Psalms 40

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. I Waited paciently for the Lord, and he inclined vnto 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 Hee brought mee also out of the horrible pit, out of the myrie clay, and set my feete vpon the rocke, and ordered my goings.

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 And he hath put in my mouth a new song of praise vnto our God: many shall see it and feare, 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 that maketh the Lord his trust, and regardeth not the proude, nor such as turne aside to lyes.

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 O Lord my God, thou hast made thy wonderfull workes so many, that none can count in order to thee thy thoughts toward vs: I would declare, and speake of them, but they are moe then I am able to expresse.

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 thou didest not desire: (for mine eares hast thou prepared) burnt offring and sinne offering hast thou not required.

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

7 Then said I, Lo, I come: for in the rolle of the booke it is written of me,

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

8 I desired to doe thy good will, O my God: yea, thy Lawe is within mine heart.

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

9 I haue declared thy righteousnesse in the great Congregation: loe, I will not refraine my lippes: O Lord, thou knowest.

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

10 I haue not hidde thy righteousnesse within mine heart, but I haue declared thy trueth and thy saluation: I haue not conceiled thy mercy and thy trueth from the great Congregation.

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 Withdrawe not thou thy tender mercie from mee, O Lord: let thy mercie and thy trueth alway preserue 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 troubles haue compassed mee: my sinnes haue taken such holde vpon me, that I am not able to looke vp: yea, they are moe in nomber then the heares of mine head: therefore mine heart hath 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 Let it please thee, O Lord, to deliuer mee: make haste, O Lord, to helpe me.

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

14 Let them be confounded and put to shame together, that seeke my soule to destroye it: let them be driuen backward and put to rebuke, that desire mine 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 destroyed for a rewarde of their shame, which say vnto me, Aha, aha.

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

16 Let all them, that seeke thee, reioyce and be glad in thee: and let them, that loue thy saluation, say alway, The Lord be praysed.

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 Though I be poore and needie, the Lord thinketh on mee: thou art mine helper and my deliuerer: my God, make no tarying.

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.
