web@Psalms:40:1 @ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

web@Psalms:40:3 @ He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.
web@Psalms:40:4 @ Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
web@Psalms:40:5 @ Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
web@Psalms:40:6 @ Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

web@Psalms:40:9 @ I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.

web@Psalms:40:11 @ Don't withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
web@Psalms:40:12 @ For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.
web@Psalms:40:13 @ Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.

web@Psalms:40:15 @ Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha! Aha!"
web@Psalms:40:16 @ Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let Yahweh be exalted!"
