Chapter 40
Psal Rotherha 40:1  I waited patiently for Yahweh,—And he inclined, unto me, and heard my cry for help;
Psal Rotherha 40:2  So he brought me up, Out of the destroying pit, Out of the swampy mire,—And set, upon a cliff, my feet, Making firm my steps:
Psal Rotherha 40:3  Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God,—Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.
Psal Rotherha 40:4  How happy the man, Who hath made Yahweh his confidence, who hath not turned unto the haughty, nor gone aside unto falsehood.
Psal Rotherha 40:5  Mighty things, hast thou done—Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes towards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee—I would tell, and would speak!—They are too great to rehearse.
Psal Rotherha 40:6  Sacrifice and meal-offering, thou didst not delight in, Ears, didst thou pierce for me,—Ascending-sacrifice and sin-bearer, thou didst not ask:
Psal Rotherha 40:7  Then, said I—Lo! I am come, In the written scroll, is it prescribed for me;
Psal Rotherha 40:8  To do thy good-pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:
Psal Rotherha 40:9  I have told the good-tidings of righteousness in a great convocation, Lo! my lips, do I not restrain, O Yahweh, thou, knowest:
Psal Rotherha 40:10  Thy righteousness, have I not hid in the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and thy salvation, have I spoken, I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness from the great convocation.
Psal Rotherha 40:11  Thou, O Yahweh, wilt not restrain thy compassions from me, Thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness, shall continually watch over me.
Psal Rotherha 40:12  For there have closed in upon me, misfortunes beyond number, Mine iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see, They have become more than the hairs of my head, And, my courage, hath forsaken me!
Psal Rotherha 40:13  Be pleased, O Yahweh, to rescue me, O Yahweh! to help me, make haste!
Psal Rotherha 40:14  Let them turn pale and then at once blush, who are seeking my life to snatch it away,—Let them draw back, and be confounded, who are taking pleasure in my calamity;
Psal Rotherha 40:15  Let them be astonished on account of their own shame, who are saying of me, Aha! Aha!
Psal Rotherha 40:16  Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, who are seekers of thee. Let them say continually—Yahweh be magnified! who are lovers of thy salvation.
Psal Rotherha 40:17  But, I, being oppressed and needy, May My Lord devise for me,—My help and my deliverer, thou art! O my God, do not tarry!
