Chapter 40

1


 

  To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

3


 

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

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

6


 

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

 

 

--

7


 

  Then said I, 'Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,  

 

 

--

8


 

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

 

 

--

9


 

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

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

11


 

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

 

 

--

13


 

  Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help 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.  

 

 

--

15


 

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

 

 

--

16


 

  All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified.'  

 

 

--

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.
