Psalms 40

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto 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 the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, He established 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 a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, 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 Happy is the man that hath made the LORD his trust, and hath not turned unto the arrogant, nor unto such as fall away treacherously.

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 things hast Thou done, O LORD my God, even Thy wonderful works, and Thy thoughts toward us; there is none to be compared unto Thee! If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be told.

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 meal-offering Thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast Thou opened; burnt-offering and sin-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 am come with the roll of a book which is prescribed for me;

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

8 I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'

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

9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation, lo, I did not refrain my lips; 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 have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation; I have not concealed Thy mercy and Thy truth 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 Thou, O LORD, wilt not withhold Thy compassions from me; let Thy mercy and Thy 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 compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my 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 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me.

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

14 Let them be ashamed and abashed together that seek after my soul to sweep it away; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that 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 appalled by reason of their shame that say unto me: 'Aha, aha.'

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

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, as for me, that am poor and needy, the Lord will account it unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O my God, tarry not.

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.
