Psalms 40:6-12

6SacrificeH2077 and offeringH4503 thou didst not desireH2654; mine earsH241 hast thou openedH3738: burnt offeringH5930 and sin offeringH2401 hast thou not requiredH7592.1

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 heartH4578.2

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.

11WithholdH3607 not thou thy tender merciesH7356 from me, O YhwhH3068: let thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 continuallyH8548 preserveH5341 me.

12For innumerableH4557 evilsH7451 have compassedH661 me about: mine iniquitiesH5771 have taken holdH5381 upon me, so that I am not ableH3201 to look upH7200; they are moreH6105 than the hairsH8185 of mine headH7218: therefore my heartH3820 failethH5800 me.3
