Psalms 40:1-10
1I 1waited 2patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me and 3heard my cry.2He brought me up out of the 4pit of destruction, out of the 5miry clay, And 6He set my feet upon a rock 7making my footsteps firm.3He put a 8new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will 9see and fear And will trust in the Lord.
4How 10blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust, And 11has not 12turned to the proud, nor to those who 13lapse into falsehood.5Many, O Lord my God, are 14the wonders which You have done, And Your 15thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They 16would be too numerous to count.
61718Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have 19opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.7Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is 20written of me.821I delight to do Your will, O my God; 22Your Law is within my heart.”
9I have 23proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will 24not restrain my lips, O Lord, 25You know.10I have 26not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have 27spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation.
