ASV_Strong : Psalms 40

verses:

1. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I waited [H6960] patiently [H6960] for Jehovah[H3068]; And he inclined[H5186] unto me[H8085], and heard my cry[H7775].

2. He brought me up[H5927] also out of a horrible[H7588] pit[H953], out of the miry[H3121] clay[H2916]; And he set[H6965] my feet[H7272] upon a rock[H5553], and established[H3559] my goings[H838].

3. And he hath put[H5414] a new[H2319] song[H7892] in my mouth[H6310], even praise[H8416] unto our God[H430]: Many[H7227] shall see[H7200] it[H3372], and fear, And shall trust[H982] in Jehovah[H3068].

4. Blessed[H835] is the man[H1397] that maketh[H7760] Jehovah[H3068] his trust[H4009], And respecteth[H6437] not the proud[H7295], nor such as turn aside[H7750] to lies[H3577].

5. Many[H7227], O Jehovah[H3068] my God[H430], are the wonderful[H6381] works which thou hast done[H6213], And thy thoughts[H4284] which are to us-ward[H6186]; They cannot be set in order unto thee[H5046]; If I would declare and speak[H1696] of them[H6105], They are more than can be numbered[H5608].

6. Sacrifice[H2077] and offering[H4503] thou hast no delight[H2654] in[H241]; Mine ears hast thou opened[H3738]: Burnt-offering [H5930] and sin-offering [H5930] hast thou not required[H7592].

7. Then said[H559] I[H935], Lo, I am come; In the roll[H4039] of the book[H5612] it is written of me[H3789]:

8. I delight[H2654] to do[H6213] thy will[H7522], O my God[H430]; Yea[H8451], thy law is within[H8432] my heart[H4578].

9. I have proclaimed[H1319] glad tidings of righteousness[H6664] in the great[H7227] assembly[H6951]; Lo[H3607], I will not refrain my lips[H8193], O Jehovah[H3068], thou knowest[H3045].

10. I have not hid[H3680] thy righteousness[H6666] within[H8432] my heart[H3820]; I have declared[H559] thy faithfulness[H530] and thy salvation[H8668]; I have not concealed[H3582] thy lovingkindness[H2617] and thy truth[H571] from the great[H7227] assembly[H6951].

11. Withhold[H3607] not thou thy tender mercies[H7356] from me[H3068], O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness[H2617] and thy truth[H571] continually[H8548] preserve me[H5341].

12. For innumerable[H4557] evils[H7451] have compassed[H661] me about[H5771]; Mine iniquities have overtaken[H5381] me[H3201], so that I am not able to look up[H7200]; They are more[H6105] than the hairs[H8185] of my head[H7218]; And my heart[H3820] hath failed me[H5800].

13. Be pleased[H7521], O Jehovah [H3068], to deliver[H5337] me[H2363]: Make haste to help[H5833] me [H3068], O Jehovah.

14. Let them be put to shame [H954] and confounded [H954] together[H3162] That seek[H1245] after my soul[H5315] to destroy[H5595] it[H5472]: Let them be turned backward[H268] and brought to dishonor[H3637] That delight[H2655] in my hurt[H7451].

15. Let them be desolate[H8074] by reason[H6118] of their shame[H1322] That say[H559] unto me [H1889], Aha, aha [H1889].

16. Let all those that seek[H1245] thee rejoice[H7797] and be glad[H8055] in thee[H157]: Let such as love thy salvation[H8668] say[H559] continually[H8548], Jehovah[H3068] be magnified[H1431].

17. But I am poor[H6041] and needy[H34]; Yet the Lord[H136] thinketh[H2803] upon me[H5833]: Thou art my help and my deliverer[H6403]; Make no tarrying[H309], O my God[H430].
