Psalms 40:7-17

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 heartH4578.1 9I have preachedH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: lo, I have not restrainedH3607 my lipsH8193, O LORDH3068, 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 LORDH3068: let thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 continuallyH8548 preserveH5341 me. 12For innumerableH4557 evilsH7451 have surroundedH661 me: my iniquitiesH5771 have taken holdH5381 upon me, so that I am not ableH3201 to look upH7200; they are moreH6105 than the hairsH8185 of my headH7218: therefore my heartH3820 failethH5800 me.2 13Be pleasedH7521, O LORDH3068, to deliverH5337 me: O LORDH3068, make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me. 14Let them be ashamedH954 and confoundedH2659 togetherH3162 that seekH1245 after my soulH5315 to destroyH5595 it; let them be drivenH5472 backwardH268 and put to shameH3637 that wishH2655 me evilH7451. 15Let them be desolateH8074 for a rewardH6118 of their shameH1322 that sayH559 to me, AhaH1889, ahaH1889. 16Let all those that seekH1245 thee rejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055 in thee: let such as loveH157 thy salvationH8668 sayH559 continuallyH8548, The LORDH3068 be magnifiedH1431. 17But I am poorH6041 and needyH34; yet the LordH136 thinkethH2803 upon me: thou art my helpH5833 and my delivererH6403; make no delayH309, O my GodH430.
