Psalm 40
40.1
(40: 1) To the Chief Musician. From David. Psalm. (40: 2) I had placed my hope in the Lord; And he bowed to me, he listened to my cries.
40.2
(40: 3) He took me out of the pit of destruction, From the depths of the mud; And he set my feet up on the rock, he established my steps.
40.3
(40: 4) He put in my mouth a new song, A praise to our God; Many saw it, and feared, and trusted in the Lord.
40.4
(40: 5) Blessed is the man who puts his trust in the Lord, and does not turn to haughty men and liars!
40.5
(40: 6) Thou hast multiplied, O Lord my God! Your wonders and your designs in our favor; No one can compare to you; I would like to publish and proclaim them, But their number is too great for me to relate.
40.6
(40: 7) You desire neither sacrifice nor offering, You have opened my ears; You do not ask for a burnt offering or an atoning victim.
40.7
(40: 8) So I said: Behold, I come With the scroll of the book written for me.
40.8
(40: 9) I want to do your will, my God! And your law is deep in my heart.

40.9
(40:10) I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; Behold, I do not close my lips, O Lord, you know it!
40.10
(40:11) I do not hold your righteousness in my heart, I proclaim your truth and your salvation; I do not hide your goodness and your faithfulness In the great assembly.
40.11
(40:12) You, Lord! you will not refuse me your mercies; Your goodness and your loyalty will always keep me.
40.12
(40:13) For evils without number surround me; The chastisements of my iniquities come upon me, and I cannot bear the sight of them; They are more than the hairs of my head, And my courage fails me.
40.13
(40:14) Save me, O Lord! Lord, come quickly to my aid!
40.14
(40:15) May they all be ashamed and confused, Those who want my life to take it away! Let them recoil and blush, Those who desire my downfall!
40.15
(40:16) Let them be amazed at the effect of their shame, Those who say to me: Ah! ah!
40.16
(40:17) May all who seek you be glad and rejoice in you! May those who love your salvation say without ceasing: Exalted be the Lord!
40.17
(40:18) I am poor and needy; But the Lord thinks of me. You are my help and my liberator: My God, do not delay!
