Psalms 40

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth 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 And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation — from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.

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 putteth in my mouth a new song, 'Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.

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 O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

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 Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

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 present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.

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 have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,

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

8 To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.

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

9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.

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

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

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 Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.

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

12 For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken 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 Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.

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

14 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.

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

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

16 All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'Jehovah is 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 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou 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.
