For the one directing Mizmor David

40:1 I waited patiently for YHWH (יהוה); and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

40:2 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.

40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise unto Eloheinu: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in YHWH (יהוה).

40:4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh YHWH (יהוה) His trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

40:5 Many, O YHWH (יהוה) Elohai, [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.

40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of Me,

40:8 I delight to do Thy will, O Elohai: yea, Thy Torah [is] within my heart.

40:9 I have proclaimed Tzedakah in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O YHWH (יהוה), thou knowest.

40:10 I have not hid Thy Tzedakah within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation: I have not concealed Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth from the great congregation.

40:11 Withhold not thou Thy tender mercies from me, O YHWH (יהוה): let Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth continually preserve me.

40:12 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.

40:13 Be pleased, O YHWH (יהוה), to deliver me: O YHWH (יהוה), make haste to help me.

40:14 Let them be ashamed and humiliated together that seek after my nefesh to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

40:16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love Thy salvation say continually, YHWH (יהוה) be magnified.

40:17 But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] Adonay thinketh upon me: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O Elohai.
