nsb@Psalms:40:4 @ Blessed is the man who has made Jehovah his security. He has not turned to the proud, or to those who turn aside into falsehood.

nsb@Psalms:40:5 @ O Jehovah my God, Many are the wonders that you have done and your thoughts toward us. None can compare with you. If I would declare and teach about them, they would be too numerous to report.

nsb@Psalms:40:6 @ You have not desired sacrifice and meal offering. You have opened my ears. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.

nsb@Psalms:40:13 @ O Jehovah, please rescue me! Come quickly to help me, O Jehovah!

nsb@Psalms:40:14 @ 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.

nsb@Psalms:40:15 @ Let those who say to me: Aha! Aha! Be stunned by their shame.

nsb@Psalms:40:16 @ Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say: Jehovah is greatly magnified!

nsb@Psalms:40:17 @ I am oppressed and needy. May Jehovah think of me. You are my help and my salvation. O my God, do not delay!
