Psalms 40:1-10

1I 1waitedH6960 2patientlyH6960 for the LordH3068; And He reachedH5186 downH5186 to me and 3heardH8085 my cryH7775.2He broughtH5927 me upH5927 out of the 4pitH953 of 5destructionH7588, out of the mudH3121; And 6He setH6965 my feetH7272 on a rockH5553, 7makingH3559 my footstepsH804 firmH3559.3He putH5414 a 8newH2319 songH7892 in my mouthH6310, a songH8416 ofH8416 praiseH8416 to our GodH430; ManyH7227 will 9seeH7200 and fearH3372 And will trustH982 in the LordH3068.

4How 10blessedH835 is the manH1397 whoH834 has madeH7760 the LordH3068 his trustH4009, And 11has not turnedH6437 to the 12proudH7295, nor to those who 13becomeH7750 involvedH7750 in falsehoodH3577.5ManyH7227, LordH3068 my GodH430, are 14the wondersH6381 which You have doneH6213, And Your 15thoughtsH4284 towardH413 us; ThereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 to compareH6186 with You. If I would declareH5046 and speakH1696 of them, They 16would beH6105 tooH4480 numerousH6105 to countH5608.

6 17You have not desiredH2654 18sacrificeH2077 and mealH4503 offeringH4503; You have 19openedH3738 my earsH241; You have not requiredH7592 burntH5930 offeringH5930 and sinH2401 offeringH2401.7ThenH227 I saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I have comeH935; It is 20writtenH3789 of me in the scrollH4039 of the bookH5612.8 21I delightH2654 to doH6213 Your willH7522, my GodH430; 22Your LawH8451 is withinH8432 my 23heartH4578.”

9I have 24proclaimedH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319 of righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951; BeholdH2009, I will 25not restrainH3607 my lipsH8193, LordH3068, 26You knowH3045.10I have 27not hiddenH3680 Your righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have 28spokenH559 of Your faithfulnessH530 and Your salvationH8668; I have not concealedH3582 Your mercyH2617 and Your truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.
