Psalms 40:1-10

1I waited patiently for Jehovah; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.2And he brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock; he hath established my goings:3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, praise unto our 1God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall confide in Jehovah.4Blessed is the man that hath made Jehovah his confidence, and turneth not to the proud, and to such as turn aside to lies.5Thou, O Jehovah my 2God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak [them], they are more than can be numbered.6Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire: ears hast thou prepared me. Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not demanded;7Then said I, Behold, I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me —8To do thy good pleasure, my 3God, is my delight, and thy law is within my heart.9I have published righteousness in the great congregation: behold, I have not withheld my lips, Jehovah, thou knowest.10I have not hidden thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
