Psalms 40:1-10

1I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry.

2He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.

3He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord.

4Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.

6Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.

7Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me.

8I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.”

9I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O Lord, You Yourself know.

10I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth From the great assembly.
