| # Chapter 40
| To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
| He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
| And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
| Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
| Many, O LORD, my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are toward us, they cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
| Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.
| Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
| I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
| I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
| I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
| Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
| For innumerable evils have encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me.
| Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
| 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.
| Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
| Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
| But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my God.
