Psalms 40:1-10

1I waitedH6960 patientlyH6960 for YhwhH3068; and he inclinedH5186 unto me, and heardH8085 my cryH7775.1

2He brought me upH5927 also out of an horribleH7588 pitH953, out of the miryH3121 clayH2916, and setH6965 my feetH7272 upon a rockH5553, and establishedH3559 my goingsH838.2

3And he hath putH5414 a newH2319 songH7892 in my mouthH6310, even praiseH8416 unto our GodH430: manyH7227 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372, and shall trustH982 in YhwhH3068.

4BlessedH835 is that manH1397 that makethH7760 YhwhH3068 his trustH4009, and respectethH6437 not the proudH7295, nor such as turn asideH7750 to liesH3577.

5ManyH7227, O YhwhH3068 my GodH430, are thy wonderfulH6381 works which thou hast doneH6213, and thy thoughtsH4284 which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in orderH6186 unto thee: if I would declareH5046 and speakH1696 of them, they are moreH6105 than can be numberedH5608.3

6SacrificeH2077 and offeringH4503 thou didst not desireH2654; mine earsH241 hast thou openedH3738: burnt offeringH5930 and sin offeringH2401 hast thou not requiredH7592.4

7Then saidH559 I, Lo, I comeH935: in the volumeH4039 of the bookH5612 it is writtenH3789 of me,

8I delightH2654 to doH6213 thy willH7522, O my GodH430: yea, thy lawH8451 is withinH8432 my heartH4578.5

9I have preachedH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: lo, I have not refrainedH3607 my lipsH8193, O YhwhH3068, thou knowestH3045.

10I have not hidH3680 thy righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have declaredH559 thy faithfulnessH530 and thy salvationH8668: I have not concealedH3582 thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.
