Psalms 40:7-17

7ThenH227 I saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I comeH935; In the scrollH4039 of the bookH5612 it is 1writtenH3789 of me.82I delightH2654 to doH6213 Your willH7522, O my GodH430; 3Your LawH8451 is withinH8432 my heartH4578.”

9I have 4proclaimedH1319 gladH1319 tidingsH1319 of righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951; BeholdH2009, I will 5not restrainH3607 my lipsH8193, O LordH3068, 6You knowH3045.10I have 7not hiddenH3680 Your righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have 8spokenH559 of Your faithfulnessH530 and Your salvationH8668; I have not concealedH3582 Your lovingkindnessH2617 and Your truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.

11You, O LordH3068, will not withholdH3607 Your compassionH7356 from me; 9Your 10lovingkindnessH2617 and Your truthH571 will continuallyH8548 preserveH5341 me.12For evilsH7463 beyondH5704H369 numberH4557 have 11surroundedH661 me; My 12iniquitiesH5771 have overtakenH5381 me, so that I am not ableH3201 to seeH7200; They are 13moreH4480 numerousH6105 thanH4480 the hairsH8185 of my headH7218, And my 14heartH3820 has 15failedH5800 me.

1316Be pleasedH7521, O LordH3068, to deliverH5337 me; MakeH2363 17hasteH2363, O LordH3068, to helpH5833 me.14Let those be 18ashamedH954 and humiliatedH3637 togetherH3162 Who 19seekH1245 my 20lifeH5315 to destroyH5595 it; Let those be turnedH5472 backH268 and dishonoredH3637 WhoH2655 delightH2655 21in my hurtH7463.15Let those 22be 23appalledH8074 becauseH5921H6118 of their shameH1322 Who 24sayH559 to me, “AhaH1889, ahaH1889!”1625Let allH3605 who seekH1245 You rejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055 in You; Let those who loveH157 Your salvationH8668 26sayH559 continuallyH8548, “The LordH3068 be magnifiedH1431!”17Since 27I am afflictedH6041 and needyH34, 2829Let the LordH136 be mindfulH2803 of me. You are my helpH5833 and my delivererH6403; Do not delayH309, O my GodH430.
