Psalm 40

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:1} I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:2} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:3} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:4} Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:5} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:6} Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:7} Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:8} I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:9} I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:10} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:11} Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:12} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:13} Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:14} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:15} Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:16} Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 40:17} 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.
