Psalms:40

Seeker Overlay ON

* I waited patiently for LORD , and he inclined to me , and heard my cry . * He also brought me up out of a horrible pit , out of the miry clay , and he set my feet upon a rock , and established my goings . * And he has put a new song in my mouth , even praise to our God . Many shall see it , and fear , and shall trust in LORD . * Blessed is the man who makes LORD his trust , and respects not the proud , nor such as turn aside to lies . * Many , O LORD my God , are the wonderful works which thou have done , and thy thoughts which are toward us . They cannot be set in order to thee . If I would declare and speak of them , they are more than can be numbered . * Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire ,. Whole burnt-offering and sacrifice for sin thou did not require . * Then I said , Lo , I have come . In the volume of a book it is written of me . * I delight to do thy will , O my God . Yea , thy law is within my heart . * I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly . Lo , I will not refrain my lips . O LORD , thou know . * 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 assembly . * Withhold thou not thy tender mercies from me , O LORD . Let thy loving kindness and thy truth continually preserve me , * for innumerable evils have encompassed me around . My iniquities have overtaken me , so that I am not able to look up . They are more than the hairs of my head , and my heart has failed me . * Be pleased , O LORD , to deliver me . Make haste to help me , O LORD . * Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it . Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt . * Let them be desolate because of their shame who say to me , Aha , aha . * Let all those who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee . Let such as love thy salvation say continually , LORD be magnified . * But I am poor and needy , [yet ] LORD thinks upon me . Thou are my help and my deliverer . Make no delay , O my God .
