Psalms 40

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 <<To the chief musician: A Psalm of David.>> I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me and heard my cry.

2 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.

3 And He hath put a new song in my mouth; even praise unto our God; many shall see it and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5 Many, O LORD my God, are Thy wonderful works which Thou hast done; and Thy thoughts which are directed toward us, they cannot be reckoned up in order unto Thee. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

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

7 Then said I, "Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me:

8 I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is within my heart."

9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD, Thou knowest.

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

11 Withhold not Thou Thy tender mercies from me, O LORD; let Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth continually preserve me.

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.

13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me!

14 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.

15 Let them be desolate as a reward for their shame, that say unto me, "Aha, aha!"

16 Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; let those that love Thy salvation say continually, "The LORD be magnified!"

17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh of me. Thou art my help and my deliverer; do not tarry, O my God!

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me and heard my cry for help.

2 He pulled me out of a horrible pit, out of the mud and clay. He set my feet on a rock and made my steps secure.

3 He placed a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see this and worship. They will trust the LORD.

4 Blessed is the person who places his confidence in the LORD and does not rely on arrogant people or those who follow lies.

5 You have done many miraculous things, O LORD my God. You have made many wonderful plans for us. No one compares to you! I will tell others about your miracles, which are more than I can count.

6 You were not pleased with sacrifices and offerings. You have dug out two ears for me. You did not ask for burnt offerings or sacrifices for sin.

7 Then I said, "I have come! (It is written about me in the scroll of the book.)

8 I am happy to do your will, O my God." Your teachings are deep within me.

9 I will announce the good news of righteousness among those assembled for worship. I will not close my lips. You know that, O LORD.

10 I have not buried your righteousness deep in my heart. I have been outspoken about your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not hidden your mercy and your truth from those assembled for worship.

11 Do not withhold your compassion from me, O LORD. May your mercy and your truth always protect me.

12 Countless evils have surrounded me. My sins have caught up with me so that I can no longer see. They outnumber the hairs on my head. I have lost heart.

13 O LORD, please rescue me! Come quickly to help me, O LORD!

14 Let all those who seek to end my life be confused and put to shame. Let those who want my downfall be turned back and disgraced.

15 Let those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be stunned by their own shame.

16 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "The LORD is great!"

17 But I am oppressed and needy. May the Lord think of me. You are my help and my savior. O my God, do not delay!
