Psalms, psalm 40
Compare with Revised Standard Version: Psal.040
1: I waited patiently for JAH; and he inclined
unto me, and heard my cry.
2: He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3: And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:
many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in JAH.
4: Blessed is that man that maketh JAH his trust, and respecteth
not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5: Many, O JAH my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done,
and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order
unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can
be numbered.
6: Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou
opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7: Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written
of me,
8: I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
9: I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have
not refrained my lips, O JAH, thou knowest.
10: I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared
thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness
and thy truth from the great congregation.
11: Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O JAH: let thy lovingkindness
and thy truth continually preserve me.
12: For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities
have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more
than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
13: Be pleased, O JAH, to deliver me: O JAH, make haste to help me.
14: Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my
soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish
me evil.
15: Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto
me, Aha, aha.
16: Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such
as love thy salvation say continually, JAH be magnified.
17: But I am poor and needy; yet JAH thinketh upon me: thou art
my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O JAH.
