engKJVCPB: Psalms 40

=> Chapters

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

[1] I waited patiently for the Lord;

And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

[2] He brought me up also out of a 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 moe than can be numbered.

[6] Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;

Mine ears hast thou opened:

Burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

[7] Then said I, Lo, I come:

In the volume of the book it is written of me,

[8] I delight to do thy will, O my God:

Yea, thy law is within my heart.

[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 moe 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.
