Psalm 40 - To the chief
Musician, A Psalm of David.

I waited patiently for the Lord; and
he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

He brought me up also out of an horrible
pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet

upon a rock, and established my goings.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth,
even praise unto our God: many shall see

it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

Blessed is that man that maketh the
Lord his trust, and respecteth not the

proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful
works which thou hast done, and thy

thoughts which are to us-ward: they
cannot be reckoned up in order unto

thee: if I would declare and speak of
them, they are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst
not desire; mine ears hast thou

opened: burnt offering and sin
offering hast thou not required.

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume
of the book it is written of me,

I delight to do thy will, O my God:
yea, thy law is within my heart.

I have preached righteousness in the
great congregation: lo, I have not

refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.

I have not hid thy righteousness
within my heart; I have declared thy

faithfulness and thy salvation: I have
not concealed thy lovingkindness and

thy truth from the great congregation.

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies
from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness

and thy truth continually preserve me.

For innumerable evils have compassed me
about: mine iniquities have taken hold

upon me, so that I am not able to look
up; they are more than the hairs of mine

head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver
me: O Lord, make haste to help me.

Let them be ashamed and confounded
together that seek after my soul to

destroy it; let them be driven backward
and put to shame that wish me evil.

Let them be desolate for a reward of
their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek thee
rejoice and be glad in thee: let

such as love thy salvation say
continually, The Lord be magnified.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord
thinketh upon me: thou art my help and

my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
