< previous PSALM FORTY next >
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
1 I waited patiently for Jehovah.
He turned to me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay.
He set my feet on a rock,
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise
to our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Jehovah.
4 Blessed is the man who makes Jehovah his trust,
and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn aside
to lies.
5 Many, Jehovah, my God, are the wonderful works
which you have done,
and your thoughts which are toward us.
They can’t be declared back to you.
If I would declare and speak of them, they are more
than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.
You have opened my ears.
You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come.
It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
8 I delight to do your will, my God.
Yes, your law is within my heart.”
9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in
the great assembly.
Behold, I will not seal my lips, Jehovah, you know.
10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my
heart.
I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.
I have not concealed your loving kindness and your
truth from the great assembly.
11 Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Jehovah.
Let your loving kindness and your truth continually
preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me.
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able
to look up.
They are more than the hairs of my head.
My heart has failed me.
13 Be pleased, Jehovah, to deliver me.
Hurry to help me, Jehovah.
14 Let them be disappointed and confounded
together who seek after my soul to destroy it.
Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt.
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame
that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad
in you.
Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let Jehovah
be exalted!”
17 But I am poor and needy.
May the Lord think about me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
Don’t delay, my God.
