Psalms 40 — YLT
40Verse 1To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,Verse 2And 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.Verse 3And He putteth in my mouth a new song, 'Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.Verse 4O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.Verse 5Much 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.Verse 6Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.Verse 7Then said I, 'Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,Verse 8To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.Verse 9I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.Verse 10Thy 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.Verse 11Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.Verse 12For 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.Verse 13Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.Verse 14They 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.Verse 15They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, 'Aha, aha.'Verse 16All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified.'Verse 17And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.
