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.

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” I trusted steadfastly in the LORD, And he listened, and heard 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.

He drew me out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, And made my steps firm.

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.

He hath put into my mouth a new song, A song of praise to our God. Many shall see, and fear, And put their trust 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.

Happy the man who maketh the LORD his trust, And resorteth not to men of pride and falsehood!

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.

Many, O LORD, my God! are the wonderful works which thou hast done; Many have been thy gracious purposes towards us; None can be compared to thee! Would I declare and rehearse them, they are more than can be numbered.

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

In sacrifice and oblation thou hast no pleasure; Mine ears thou hast opened; Burnt-offering and sin-offering thou requirest not.

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

Therefore I said, “Lo, I come; In the scroll of the book it is prescribed to me;

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

O my God! to do thy will is my delight, And thy law dwelleth in 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 thy righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD! thou knowest!

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 hide not thy justice in my heart; I declare thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I conceal not thy mercy and truth from 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.

Withdraw not from me thy tender mercies, O LORD! May thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve 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 encompassed me; My iniquities have overtaken me; I cannot see the end of them; They are more than the hairs of my head, And my heart dieth within me.

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

May it please thee, O LORD! to deliver me! O LORD! make haste to mine aid!

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.

May they all be confounded and covered with shame Who seek to take away my life! Let them be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!

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

Let them be overwhelmed with confusion Who cry out 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.

But let all who seek thee Be glad and rejoice in thee! Let those who love thy protection Ever say, “Great is Jehovah!”

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.

I am poor and afflicted, yet the Lord thinketh upon me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; My God! make no delay!
