Psalms 40:7-17
7ThenH227 I saidH559, “Here I amH2009, I have comeH935— it is writtenH3789 about meH5921 in the scrollH4039H5612:8I delightH2654 to doH6213 Your willH7522, O my GodH430;1 Your lawH8451 is withinH8432 my heartH4578.”
9I proclaimH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 assemblyH6951;beholdH2009, I do notH3808 sealH3607 my lipsH8193,as YouH859, O LORDH3068, do knowH3045.10I have notH3808 covered upH3680 Your righteousnessH6666 inH8432 my heartH3820;I have declaredH559 Your faithfulnessH530 and salvationH8668;I have notH3808 concealedH3582 Your loving devotionH2617 and faithfulnessH571from the greatH7227 assemblyH6951.
11O LORDH3068, do notH3808 withholdH3607 Your mercyH7356 from meH4480;Your loving devotionH2617 and faithfulnessH571 will alwaysH8548 guard meH5341.12ForH3588 evilsH7451H5704 withoutH369 numberH4557 surround meH661H5921;my sinsH5771 have overtaken meH5381, so that I cannotH3808H3201 seeH7200.They are moreH6105 than the hairsH8185 of my headH7218,and my heartH3820 has failed within meH5800.13Be pleasedH7521, O LORDH3068, to deliver meH5337;hurryH2363, O LORDH3068, to help meH5833.
14May those who seekH1245 my lifeH5595H5315be ashamedH954 and confoundedH2659H3162;may those who wish meH2655 harmH7451be repelledH5472H268 and humiliatedH3637.15May those who sayH559 to me, “AhaH1889, ahaH1889!”be appalledH8074 atH5921H6118 their own shameH1322.16May allH3605 who seek YouH1245rejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055 in You;may those who loveH157 Your salvationH8668alwaysH8548 sayH559, “The LORDH3068 be magnifiedH1431!”
