engLXXup: Psalms 39

=> Chapters

 [1] For the end, a Psalm of David.

[2] I waited patiently for the Lord;

And he attended to me, and hearkened to my supplication.

[3] And he brought me up out of a pit of misery,

And from miry clay:

And he set my feet on a rock,

And ordered my goings aright.

[4] And he put a new song into my mouth,

Even a hymn to our God:

Many shall see it, and fear,

And shall hope in the Lord.

[5] Blessed is the man whose hope is the name of the Lord,

And who has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.

[6] O Lord my God, thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works,

And in thy thoughts there is none who shall be likened to thee:

I declared and spoke of them: they exceeded number.

[7] Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not;

But a body hast thou prepared me:

Whole burnt offering and sacrifice for sin thou didst not require.

[8] Then I said, Behold, I come:

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

[9] I desired to do thy will, O my God,

And thy law in the midst of my heart.

[10] I have preached righteousness in the great congregation;

Lo! I will not refrain my lips;

O Lord, thou knowest my righteousness.

[11] I have not hidden thy truth within my heart,

And I have declared thy salvation;

I have not hidden thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation.

[12] But thou, Lord, remove not thy compassion far from me;

Thy mercy and thy truth have helped me continually.

[13] For innumerable evils have encompassed me;

My transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see;

They are multiplied more than the hairs of my head;

And my heart has failed me.

[14] Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;

O Lord, draw nigh to help me.

[15] Let those that seek my soul, to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded together;

Let those that wish me evil be turned backward and put to shame.

[16] Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward.

[17] Let all those that seek thee, O Lord, exult and rejoice in thee;

And let them that love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

[18] But I am poor and needy; the Lord will take care of me;

Thou art my helper, and my defender, O my God, delay not.
