Psalms 40:7-17

7ThenH227 I saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I have comeH935; It is 1writtenH3789 of me in the scrollH4039 of the bookH5612.82I delightH2654 to doH6213 Your willH7522, my GodH430; 3Your LawH8451 is withinH8432 my 4heartH4578.”

9I have 5proclaimedH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319 of righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951; BeholdH2009, I will 6not restrainH3607 my lipsH8193, LordH3068, 7You knowH3045.10I have 8not hiddenH3680 Your righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have 9spokenH559 of Your faithfulnessH530 and Your salvationH8668; I have not concealedH3582 Your mercyH2617 and Your truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.

11You, LordH3068, will not withholdH3607 Your compassionH7356 from me; 10Your 11mercyH2617 and Your truthH571 will continuallyH8548 watchH5341 overH5341 me.12For evilsH7463 beyondH5704H369 numberH4557 have 12surroundedH661 me; My 13guiltyH5771 deedsH5771 have overtakenH5381 me, so that I amH3201 not ableH3201 to seeH7200; They areH6105 14moreH4480 numerousH6105 thanH4480 the hairsH8185 of my headH7218, And my 15heartH3820 has 16failedH5800 me.

1317BeH7521 pleasedH7521, LordH3068, to rescueH5337 me; 18HurryH2363, LordH3068, to helpH5833 me.14May those beH954 19ashamedH954 and humiliatedH3637 togetherH3162 Who 20seekH1245 my 21lifeH5315 to destroyH5595 it; May those be turnedH5472 backH268 and dishonoredH3637 WhoH2655 delightH2655 22in my hurtH7463.15May those 23beH8074 24appalledH8074 becauseH5921H6118 of their shameH1322 Who 25sayH559 to me, “AhaH1889, ahaH1889!”1626May allH3605 who seekH1245 You rejoiceH7797 and beH8055 gladH8055 in You; May those who loveH157 Your salvationH8668 continuallyH8548 27sayH559, “The LordH3068 be exaltedH1431!”17But 28I am afflictedH6041 and needyH34; 29May the LordH136 beH2803 mindfulH2803 of me. You are my helpH5833 and my saviorH6403; Do not delayH309, my GodH430.
