rsv@Psalms:40:5 @ Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods!
rsv@Psalms:40:6 @ Thou hast multiplied, O LORD my God, thy wondrous deeds and thy thoughts toward us; none can compare with thee! Were I to proclaim and tell of them, they would be more than can be numbered.
rsv@Psalms:40:7 @ Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire; but thou hast given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering thou hast not required.

rsv@Psalms:40:14 @ Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me!
rsv@Psalms:40:15 @ Let them be put to shame and confusion altogether who seek to snatch away my life; let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire my hurt!
rsv@Psalms:40:16 @ Let them be appalled because of their shame who say to me, "Aha, Aha!"
rsv@Psalms:40:17 @ But may all who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; may those who love thy salvation say continually, "Great is the LORD!" [ (Psalms strkjv@40:18) As for me, I am poor and needy; but the Lord takes thought for me. Thou art my help and my deliverer; do not tarry, O my God! ]
