  • Psalm 40a

    For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

    I waited patiently for the Lord;
    he turned to me and heard my cry.
  • Faith Persevering in Trial

    To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

    I waited patiently for the Lord;
    And He inclined to me,
    And heard my cry.
  • He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
    out of the mud and mire;
    he set my feet on a rock
    and gave me a firm place to stand.
  • He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
    Out of the miry clay,
    And set my feet upon a rock,
    And established my steps.
  • He put a new song in my mouth,
    a hymn of praise to our God.
    Many will see and fear the Lord
    and put their trust in him.
  • He has put a new song in my mouth —
    Praise to our God;
    Many will see it and fear,
    And will trust in the Lord.
  • Blessed is the one
    who trusts in the Lord,
    who does not look to the proud,
    to those who turn aside to false gods.b
  • Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust,
    And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
  • Many, Lord my God,
    are the wonders you have done,
    the things you planned for us.
    None can compare with you;
    were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
    they would be too many to declare.
  • Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works
    Which You have done;
    And Your thoughts toward us
    Cannot be recounted to You in order;
    If I would declare and speak of them,
    They are more than can be numbered.
  • Sacrifice and offering you did not desire —
    but my ears you have openedc
    burnt offerings and sin offeringsd you did not require.
  • Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
    My ears You have opened.
    Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
  • Then I said, “Here I am, I have come —
    it is written about me in the scroll.e
  • Then I said, “Behold, I come;
    In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
  • I desire to do your will, my God;
    your law is within my heart.”
  • I delight to do Your will, O my God,
    And Your law is within my heart.”
  • I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly;
    I do not seal my lips, Lord,
    as you know.
  • I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness
    In the great assembly;
    Indeed, I do not restrain my lips,
    O Lord, You Yourself know.
  • I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
    I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help.
    I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness
    from the great assembly.
  • I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
    I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
    I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth
    From the great assembly.
  • Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord;
    may your love and faithfulness always protect me.
  • Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;
    Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
  • For troubles without number surround me;
    my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.
    They are more than the hairs of my head,
    and my heart fails within me.
  • For innumerable evils have surrounded me;
    My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
    They are more than the hairs of my head;
    Therefore my heart fails me.
  • Be pleased to save me, Lord;
    come quickly, Lord, to help me.
  • Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
    O Lord, make haste to help me!
  • May all who want to take my life
    be put to shame and confusion;
    may all who desire my ruin
    be turned back in disgrace.
  • Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
    Who seek to destroy my [a]life;
    Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor
    Who wish me evil.
  • May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
    be appalled at their own shame.
  • Let them be confounded because of their shame,
    Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
  • But may all who seek you
    rejoice and be glad in you;
    may those who long for your saving help always say,
    “The Lord is great!”
  • Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
    Let such as love Your salvation say continually,
    “The Lord be magnified!”
  • But as for me, I am poor and needy;
    may the Lord think of me.
    You are my help and my deliverer;
    you are my God, do not delay.
  • But I am poor and needy;
    Yet the Lord thinks upon me.
    You are my help and my deliverer;
    Do not delay, O my God.
