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.
