  40:1 ¶
[[For the end, a Psalm of David.]] I waited patiently for the Lord; and he attended to me, and hearkened to my supplication. |
|
40:1 ¶
[[To the chief Musician,ºº
A Psalmº
of David.]]º
I waitedºº
patientlyºº
for Yahweh;º
and he inclinedºº
untoº
me, and heardºº
my cry.º |
|
40:2
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. |
|
40:2
He brought me upºº
also out of an horribleº
pit,ºº
out of the miryº
clay,ºº
and setºº
my feetº
uponº
a rock,º
[and] establishedºº
my goings.º |
|
40:3
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. |
|
40:3
And he hath putºº
a newº
songº
in my mouth,º
[even] praiseº
unto our Elohim:º
manyº
shall seeºº
[it], and fear,ºº
and shall trustºº
in Yahweh.º |
|
40:4
Blessed [is] the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and [who] has not regarded vanities and false frenzies. |
|
40:4
Blessedº
[is] that manº
thatº
makethºº
Yahwehº
his trust,º
and respectethººº
notº
the proud,º
nor such as turn asideºº
to lies.º |
|
40:5
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. |
|
40:5
Many,º
O Yahwehº
my Elohim,º
[are] thy wonderfulºº
worksº
[which] thouº
hast done,ºº
and thy thoughtsº
[which are] toº
us-ward: they cannotº
be reckoned up in orderºº
unto thee:º
[if] I would declareºº
and speakºº
[of them], they are moreºº
than can be numbered.ººº |
|
40:6
Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not; but a body hast thou prepared me: whole-burnt-offering and [sacrifice] for sin thou didst not require. |
|
40:6
Sacrificeº
and offeringº
thou didst notº
desire;ºº
mine earsº
hast thou opened:ºº
burnt offeringº
and sin offeringº
hast thou notº
required.ºº |
|
40:7
Then I said, Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me, |
|
40:7
Thenº
saidºº
I, Lo,º
I come:ºº
in the volumeº
of the bookº
[it is] writtenºº
ofº
me, |
|
40:8
I desired to do thy will, O my God, and thy law in the midst of mine heart. |
|
40:8
I delightºº
to doºº
thy will,º
O my Elohim:º
yea, thy lawº
[is] withinº
my heart.º |
|
40:9
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; lo! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, thou knowest my righteousness. |
|
40:9
I have preachedºº
righteousnessº
in the greatº
congregation:º
lo,º
I have notº
refrainedºº
my lips,º
O Yahweh,º
thouº
knowest.ºº |
|
40:10
I have not hid thy truth within my heart, and I have declared thy salvation; I have not hid thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation. |
|
40:10
I have notº
hidºº
thy righteousnessº
withinº
my heart;º
I have declaredºº
thy faithfulnessº
and thy salvation:º
I have notº
concealedºº
thy lovingkindnessº
and thy truthº
from the greatº
congregation.º |
|
40:11
But thou, Lord, remove not thy compassion far from me; thy mercy and thy truth have helped me continually. |
|
40:11
Withholdºº
notº
thouº
thy tender merciesº
fromº
me, O Yahweh:º
let thy lovingkindnessº
and thy truthº
continuallyº
preserveºº
me. |
|
40:12
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. |
|
40:12
Forº
innumerableººº
evilsº
have compassedºº
me about:ºº
mine iniquitiesº
have taken holdºº
upon me, so that I am notº
ableºº
to look up;ºº
they are moreºº
than the hairsºº
of mine head:º
therefore my heartº
failethºº
me. |
|
40:13
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, draw nigh to help me. |
|
40:13
Be pleased,ºº
O Yahweh,º
to deliverºº
me: O Yahweh,º
make hasteºº
to helpº
me. |
|
40:14
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. |
|
40:14
Let them be ashamedºº
and confoundedºº
togetherº
that seekºº
afterº
my soulº
to destroyºº
it; let them be drivenºº
backwardº
and put to shameºº
that wishº
me evil.º |
|
40:15
Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward. |
|
40:15
Let them be desolateºº
forº
a rewardº
of their shameº
that sayºº
unto me, Aha,º
aha.º |
|
40:16
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. |
|
40:16
Let allº
those that seekºº
thee rejoiceºº
and be gladºº
in thee: let such as loveºº
thy salvationº
sayºº
continually,º
Yahwehº
be magnified.ºº |
|
40:17
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. |
|
40:17
But Iº
[am] poorº
and needy;º
[yet] Yahwehº
thinkethºº
upon me: thouº
[art] my helpº
and my deliverer;ºº
make noº
tarrying,ºº
O my Elohim.º |
