New Living Translation

New International Version

  • For the choir director: A psalm of David.

    I waited patiently for the LORD to help me,
    and he turned to me and heard my cry.
  • 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.
  • He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
    out of the mud and the mire.
    He set my feet on solid ground
    and steadied me as I walked along.
  • 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 has given me a new song to sing,
    a hymn of praise to our God.
    Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
    They will put their trust in the LORD.
  • 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.
  • Oh, the joys of those who trust the LORD,
    who have no confidence in the proud
    or in those who worship idols.
  • 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
  • O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us.
    Your plans for us are too numerous to list.
    You have no equal.
    If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,
    I would never come to the end of them.
  • 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.
  • You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings.
    Now that you have made me listen, I finally understanda
    you don’t require burnt offerings or sin offerings.
  • Sacrifice and offering you did not desire —
    but my ears you have openedc
    burnt offerings and sin offeringsd you did not require.
  • Then I said, “Look, I have come.
    As is written about me in the Scriptures:
  • Then I said, “Here I am, I have come —
    it is written about me in the scroll.e
  • I take joy in doing your will, my God,
    for your instructions are written on my heart.”
  • I desire to do your will, my God;
    your law is within my heart.”
  • I have told all your people about your justice.
    I have not been afraid to speak out,
    as you, O LORD, well know.
  • I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly;
    I do not seal my lips, Lord,
    as you know.
  • I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart;
    I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power.
    I have told everyone in the great assembly
    of your unfailing love and faithfulness.
  • 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.
  • LORD, don’t hold back your tender mercies from me.
    Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me.
  • Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord;
    may your love and faithfulness always protect me.
  • For troubles surround me —
    too many to count!
    My sins pile up so high
    I can’t see my way out.
    They outnumber the hairs on my head.
    I have lost all courage.
  • 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.
  • Please, LORD, rescue me!
    Come quickly, LORD, and help me.
  • Be pleased to save me, Lord;
    come quickly, Lord, to help me.
  • May those who try to destroy me
    be humiliated and put to shame.
    May those who take delight in my trouble
    be turned back in disgrace.
  • 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 horrified by their shame,
    for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”
  • May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
    be appalled at their own shame.
  • But may all who search for you
    be filled with joy and gladness in you.
    May those who love your salvation
    repeatedly shout, “The LORD is great!”
  • 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!”
  • As for me, since I am poor and needy,
    let the Lord keep me in his thoughts.
    You are my helper and my savior.
    O my God, do not delay.
  • 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.
