Psalms 40

1 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.

Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.

2 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.

And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.

3 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.

And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.

4 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.

Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.

5 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.

Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.

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

Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:

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

Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me

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

That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.

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

I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.

10 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.

I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.

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

Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.

12 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.

For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.

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

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.

14 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.

Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.

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

Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me: Tis well, tis well.

16 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.

Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

17 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.

But I am a beggar and poor: the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector: O my God, be not slack.
