40:1 To the chief Musician 5329 8764, A Psalm 4210 of David 1732. I waited 6960 8765 patiently 6960 8763 for the LORD 3068; and he inclined 5186 8799 unto me, and heard 8085 8799 my cry 7775.(I waited…: Heb. In waiting I waited)

40:2 He brought me up 5927 8686 also out of an horrible 7588 pit 953, out of the miry 3121 clay 2916, and set 6965 8686 my feet 7272 upon a rock 5553, [and] established 3559 8790 my goings 838.(an…: Heb. a pit of noise)

40:3 And he hath put 5414 8799 a new 2319 song 7892 in my mouth 6310, [even] praise 8416 unto our God 430: many 7227 shall see 7200 8799 [it], and fear 3372 8799, and shall trust 982 8799 in the LORD 3068.

40:4 Blessed 835 [is] that man 1397 that maketh 7760 8804 the LORD 3068 his trust 4009, and respecteth 6437 8804 not the proud 7295, nor such as turn aside 7750 8802 to lies 3577.

40:5 Many 7227, O LORD 3068 my God 430, [are] thy wonderful 6381 8737 works [which] thou hast done 6213 8804, and thy thoughts 4284 [which are] to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order 6186 8800 unto thee: [if] I would declare 5046 8686 and speak 1696 8762 [of them], they are more 6105 8804 than can be numbered 5608 8763.(they cannot…: or, none can order them unto thee)

40:6 Sacrifice 2077 and offering 4503 thou didst not desire 2654 8804; mine ears 241 hast thou opened 3738 8804: burnt offering 5930 and sin offering 2401 hast thou not required 7592 8804.(opened: Heb. digged)

40:7 Then said 559 8804 I, Lo, I come 935 8804: in the volume 4039 of the book 5612 [it is] written 3789 8803 of me,

40:8 I delight 2654 8804 to do 6213 8800 thy will 7522, O my God 430: yea, thy law 8451 [is] within 8432 my heart 4578.(within…: Heb. in the midst of my bowels)

40:9 I have preached 1319 8765 righteousness 6664 in the great 7227 congregation 6951: lo, I have not refrained 3607 8799 my lips 8193, O LORD 3068, thou knowest 3045 8804.

40:10 I have not hid 3680 8765 thy righteousness 6666 within 8432 my heart 3820; I have declared 559 8804 thy faithfulness 530 and thy salvation 8668: I have not concealed 3582 8765 thy lovingkindness 2617 and thy truth 571 from the great 7227 congregation 6951.

40:11 Withhold 3607 8799 not thou thy tender mercies 7356 from me, O LORD 3068: let thy lovingkindness 2617 and thy truth 571 continually 8548 preserve 5341 8799 me.

40:12 For innumerable 4557 evils 7451 have compassed 661 8804 me about: mine iniquities 5771 have taken hold 5381 8689 upon me, so that I am not able 3201 8804 to look up 7200 8800; they are more 6105 8804 than the hairs 8185 of mine head 7218: therefore my heart 3820 faileth 5800 8804 me.(falleth: Heb. forsaketh)

40:13 Be pleased 7521 8798, O LORD 3068, to deliver 5337 8687 me: O LORD 3068, make haste 2363 8798 to help 5833 me.

40:14 Let them be ashamed 954 8799 and confounded 2659 8799 together 3162 that seek 1245 8764 after my soul 5315 to destroy 5595 8800 it; let them be driven 5472 8735 backward 268 and put to shame 3637 8735 that wish 2655 me evil 7451.

40:15 Let them be desolate 8074 8799 for a reward 6118 of their shame 1322 that say 559 8802 unto me, Aha 1889, aha 1889.

40:16 Let all those that seek 1245 8764 thee rejoice 7797 8799 and be glad 8055 8799 in thee: let such as love 157 8802 thy salvation 8668 say 559 8799 continually 8548, The LORD 3068 be magnified 1431 8799.

40:17 But I [am] poor 6041 and needy 34; [yet] the Lord 136 thinketh 2803 8799 upon me: thou [art] my help 5833 and my deliverer 6403 8764; make no tarrying 309 8762, O my God 430.
