Psalms 40:1 I waited, waited for יהוה; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
Psa 40:2 And He drew me Out of the pit of destruction, Out of the muddy clay, And He set my feet upon a rock, He is establishing my steps.
Psa 40:3 Then He put a new song in my mouth; Praise to our Elohim; Many do see it and fear, And trust in יהוה.
Psa 40:4 Blessed is that man who has made יהוה his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to falsehood.
Psa 40:5 O יהוה my Elohim, many are the wonders Which You have done, and Your purposes toward us; There is no one to compare with You; I declare and speak: They are too many to be numbered.
Psa 40:6 Slaughtering1 and meal offering You did not desire; You have opened my ears; Burnt offering and sin offering You did not ask for. Footnote: 1See Heb. 10:5,6.
Psa 40:7 Then I said, “See, I have come; In the scroll of the Book it is prescribed for me.
Psa 40:8 I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Elohim, And Your Torah is within my heart1.” Footnote: 1Ps. 37:31, Ps. 119:11, Isa. 51:7, Heb. 10:7-9.
Psa 40:9 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness, In the great assembly; See, I do not restrain my lips, O יהוה, You know.
Psa 40:10 I did not conceal Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your trustworthiness and Your deliverance; I did not hide Your kindness and Your truth From the great assembly.
Psa 40:11 Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O יהוה; Let Your kindness and Your truth always watch over me.
Psa 40:12 For evils without number have surrounded me; My crookednesses have overtaken me, And I have been unable to see; They became more than the hairs of my head; And my heart has failed me.
Psa 40:13 Be pleased, O יהוה, to deliver me; O יהוה, hasten to help me!
Psa 40:14 Let those who seek to destroy my life Be ashamed and abashed altogether; Let those who are desiring my evil Be driven back and put to shame.
Psa 40:15 Let those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” Be appalled at their own shame.
Psa 40:16 Let all those who seek You Rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your deliverance always say, “יהוה be exalted!”
Psa 40:17 But I am poor and needy; Let יהוה think upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my Elohim, do not delay!
