Chapter 40
Psal Noyes 40:1  I trusted steadfastly in the LORD, And he listened, and heard my cry.
Psal Noyes 40:2  He drew me out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, And made my steps firm.
Psal Noyes 40:3  He hath put into my mouth a new song, A song of praise to our God. Many shall see, and fear, And put their trust in the LORD.
Psal Noyes 40:4  Happy the man who maketh the LORD his trust, And resorteth not to men of pride and falsehood!
Psal Noyes 40:5  Many, O LORD, my God! are the wonderful works which thou hast done; Many have been thy gracious purposes towards us; None can be compared to thee! Would I declare and rehearse them, they are more than can be numbered.
Psal Noyes 40:6  In sacrifice and oblation thou hast no pleasure; Mine ears thou hast opened; Burnt-offering and sin-offering thou requirest not.
Psal Noyes 40:7  Therefore I said, "Lo, I come; In the scroll of the book it is prescribed to me;
Psal Noyes 40:8  O my God! to do thy will is my delight, And thy law dwelleth in my heart!"
Psal Noyes 40:9  I have proclaimed thy righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD! thou knowest!
Psal Noyes 40:10  I hide not thy justice in my heart; I declare thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I conceal not thy mercy and truth from the great assembly.
Psal Noyes 40:11  Withdraw not from me thy tender mercies, O LORD! May thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me!
Psal Noyes 40:12  For evils without number have encompassed me; My iniquities have overtaken me; I cannot see the end of them; They are more than the hairs of my head, And my heart dieth within me.
Psal Noyes 40:13  May it please thee, O LORD! to deliver me! O LORD! make haste to mine aid!
Psal Noyes 40:14  May they all be confounded and covered with shame Who seek to take away my life! Let them be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!
Psal Noyes 40:15  Let them be overwhelmed with confusion Who cry out to me, Aha! aha!
Psal Noyes 40:16  But let all who seek thee Be glad and rejoice in thee! Let those who love thy protection Ever say, "Great is Jehovah!"
Psal Noyes 40:17  I am poor and afflicted, yet the Lord thinketh upon me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; My God! make no delay!
