40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. |
40:2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. |
40:3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear and will trust in the LORD. |
40:4 How the LORD blesses the man who has made the HIM his trust, and has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood. |
40:5 Many, O LORD my God, constitute the wonders which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; None compares with You If I would declare and speak of them, I would find them too numerous to count. |
40:6 Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. |
40:7 Then I said, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book You have written of me. |
40:8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law has penetrated deeply within my heart." |
40:9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will not restrain my lips, O LORD, You know. |
40:10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation. |
40:11 You, O LORD, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me. |
40:12 For evils beyond number have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I cannot see; They have grown more numerous than the hairs of my head, And my heart has failed me.Please O LORD, deliver me; Make haste, O LORD, to help me. |
40:13 Please O LORD, deliver me; Make haste, O LORD, to help me. |
40:14 Let those fall into shame and humility together Who seek my life to destroy it; Let those turn back and receive dishonor Who delight in my hurt. |
40:15 Let those feel appalled because of their shame Who say to me, "Aha, aha!" |
40:16 Let all who seek You rejoice and have gladness in You; Let those who love Your salvation say continually, " We magnify the LORD !" |
40:17 Since I feel afflicted and needy, Let the Lord have concern for me. |
