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.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,

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 causes me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raises up my feet on a rock, He is establishing 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 puts a new song in my mouth, “Praise to our God.” Many see and fear, and trust in YHWH.

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.

O the blessedness of the man Who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

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.

You have done much, my God YHWH; Your wonders and Your thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange to You, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

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

Sacrifice and present You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering You have not asked.

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

Then I said, “Behold, I have come, In the roll of the scroll 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.

I have delighted to do Your pleasure, my God, And Your law [is] within 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 proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You have known.

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 concealed Your righteousness In the midst of my heart, I have told of Your faithfulness and Your salvation, I have not hidden Your kindness and Your truth, To the great assembly.

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

You, O YHWH, do not restrain Your mercies from me, Your kindness and Your truth continually keep 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 innumerable evils have surrounded me, My iniquities have overtaken me, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me.

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

Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, make haste for my help.

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.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

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

They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, “Aha, aha.”

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.

All seeking You rejoice and are glad in You, Those loving Your salvation continually say, “YHWH is 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.

And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord devises for me. You [are] my help and my deliverer, O my God, do not linger.
