תהילים 40

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמֽוֹר׃ קַוֺּה קִוִּיתִי יְהֹוָה וַיֵּט אֵלַי וַיִּשְׁמַע שַׁוְעָתִֽי׃

I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.

2 וַיַּעֲלֵנִי ׀ מִבּוֹר שָׁאוֹן מִטִּיט הַיָּוֵן וַיָּקֶם עַל־סֶלַע רַגְלַי כּוֹנֵן אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my goings.

3 וַיִּתֵּן בְּפִי ׀ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ תְּהִלָּה לֵאלֹהֵינוּ יִרְאוּ רַבִּים וְיִירָאוּ וְיִבְטְחוּ בַּיהֹוָֽה׃

And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

4 אַשְֽׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם יְהֹוָה מִבְטַחוֹ וְֽלֹא־פָנָה אֶל־רְהָבִים וְשָׂטֵי כָזָֽב׃

Blessed is that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5 רַבּוֹת עָשִׂיתָ ׀ אַתָּה ׀ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי נִפְלְאֹתֶיךָ וּמַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ אֵלֵינוּ אֵין ׀ עֲרֹךְ אֵלֶיךָ אַגִּידָה וַאֲדַבֵּרָה עָצְמוּ מִסַּפֵּֽר׃

Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order to you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

6 זֶבַח וּמִנְחָה ׀ לֹֽא־חָפַצְתָּ אׇזְנַיִם כָּרִיתָ לִּי עוֹלָה וַחֲטָאָה לֹא שָׁאָֽלְתָּ׃

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.

7 אָז אָמַרְתִּי הִנֵּה־בָאתִי בִּמְגִלַּת־סֵפֶר כָּתוּב עָלָֽי׃

Then said I, See, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

8 לַעֲשׂוֹת־רְצוֹנְךָ אֱלֹהַי חָפָצְתִּי וְתוֹרָתְךָ בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָֽי׃

I delight to do your will, O my God: yes, your law is within my heart.

9 בִּשַּׂרְתִּי צֶדֶק ׀ בְּקָהָל רָב הִנֵּה שְׂפָתַי לֹא אֶכְלָא יְהֹוָה אַתָּה יָדָֽעְתָּ׃

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: see, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, you know.

10 צִדְקָתְךָ לֹֽא־כִסִּיתִי ׀ בְּתוֹךְ לִבִּי אֱמוּנָתְךָ וּתְשׁוּעָתְךָ אָמָרְתִּי לֹא־כִחַדְתִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ לְקָהָל רָֽב׃

I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great congregation.

11 אַתָּה יְהֹוָה לֹֽא־תִכְלָא רַחֲמֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ תָּמִיד יִצְּרֽוּנִי׃

Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

12 כִּי אָפְפֽוּ־עָלַי ׀ רָעוֹת עַד־אֵין מִסְפָּר הִשִּׂיגוּנִי עֲוֺנֹתַי וְלֹא־יָכֹלְתִּי לִרְאוֹת עָצְמוּ מִשַּׂעֲרוֹת רֹאשִׁי וְלִבִּי עֲזָבָֽנִי׃

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: my iniquities have taken hold on me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails me.

13 רְצֵה יְהֹוָה לְהַצִּילֵנִי יְהֹוָה לְעֶזְרָתִי חֽוּשָׁה׃

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

14 יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ ׀ יַחַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי לִסְפּוֹתָהּ יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וְיִכָּלְמוּ חֲפֵצֵי רָעָתִֽי׃

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

15 יָשֹׁמּוּ עַל־עֵקֶב בׇּשְׁתָּם הָאֹמְרִים לִי הֶאָח ׀ הֶאָֽח׃

Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.

16 יָשִׂישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ ׀ בְּךָ כׇּֽל־מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ יֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד יִגְדַּל יְהֹוָה אֹהֲבֵי תְּשׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

17 וַאֲנִי ׀ עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אֲדֹנָי יַחֲשׇׁב ־ לִי עֶזְרָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי אַתָּה אֱלֹהַי אַל־תְּאַחַֽר׃

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks on me: you are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
