Psalms 40:1-10
1I waited patiently for the LORD;He inclined to me and heard my cry.2He lifted me up from the pit of despair,out of the miry clay;He set my feet upon a rock,and made my footsteps firm.3He put a new song in my mouth,a hymn of praise to our God.Many will see and fearand put their trust in the LORD.
4Blessed is the manwho has made the LORD his trust,who has not turned to the proud,nor to those who lapse into falsehood.15Many, O LORD my God,are the wonders You have done,and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them,they are more than I can count.
6Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,but my ears You have opened.2Burnt offerings and sin offeringsYou did not require.7Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll:8I delight to do Your will, O my God;3Your law is within my heart.”
9I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly;behold, I do not seal my lips,as You, O LORD, do know.10I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart;I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation;I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulnessfrom the great assembly.
