Chapter 40 |
1 | I waited patiently for the LORD; and he
inclined unto me, and heard my cry. |
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. |
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. |
4 |
Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not
the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. |
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. |

1Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;
mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not
required.

9 |
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not
refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. |
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. |
11 | Withhold not
thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy
truth continually preserve me. |
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. |
13 | Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD,
make haste to help me. |
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. |
15 |
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. |
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. |
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. |
