Psalms 40
  1. To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
  2. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.
  3. And he hath 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. Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
  5. Many, O LORD, my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] toward us, they cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: [if] I would declare and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered.
  6. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.
  7. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me,
  8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart.
  9. I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
  10. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
  11. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
  12. For innumerable evils have encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me.
  13. Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
  14. 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. Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
  16. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
  17. But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon me: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my God.
