Psalms 40

1 To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm. I waited patiently for Jehovah; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

To the choirmaster of David a psalm. Certainly I waited for Yahweh and he stretched out to me and he heard cry for help my.

2 And he brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock; he hath established my goings:

And he brought up me - from a pit of roaring from [the] mud of the mire and he set on a rock feet my he established steps my.

3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, praise unto our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall confide in Jehovah.

And he put in mouth my - a song new praise to God our they will see many [people] so they may fear and they may trust in Yahweh.

4 Blessed is the man that hath made Jehovah his confidence, and turneth not to the proud, and to such as turn aside to lies.

How blessed! [is] the man who he has made Yahweh trust his and not he has turned to proud people and [those who] fall away of falsehood.

5 Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak [them], they are more than can be numbered.

Many you have made - you - O Yahweh God my wonders your and plans your to us not - to compare to you I will declare and I will speak they are [too] numerous for recounting.

6 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire: ears hast thou prepared me. Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not demanded;

Sacrifice and offering - not you desired ears you dug for me burnt offering and sin offering not you asked for.

7 Then said I, Behold, I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me —

Then I said here! I have come in [the] scroll of [the] book [it is] written on me.

8 To do thy good pleasure, my God, is my delight, and thy law is within my heart.

To do will your O God my I desire and law your [is] in [the] midst of inward parts my.

9 I have published righteousness in the great congregation: behold, I have not withheld my lips, Jehovah, thou knowest.

I have borne news righteousness - in [the] assembly great here! lips my not I restrain O Yahweh you you know.

10 I have not hidden 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 congregation.

Righteousness your not I have concealed - in [the] midst of heart my faithfulness your and salvation your I have spoken not I have hidden covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your to [the] assembly great.

11 Withhold not thou, Jehovah, thy tender mercies from me; let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

You O Yahweh not you will withhold compassion your from me covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your continually they preserve me.

12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head: and my heart hath failed me.

For they have surrounded me - troubles until there not [was] number they have overtaken me iniquities my and not I am able to see they are numerous more than [the] hairs of head my and heart my it has abandoned me.

13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; Jehovah, make haste to my help.

Be pleased O Yahweh to deliver me O Yahweh to help my make haste!

14 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [those who] seek life my to snatch away it may they be turned back backwards and may they be humiliated [the] [people] desirous of harm my.

15 Let them be desolate, because of their shame, that say unto me, Aha! Aha!

May they be appalled on [the] consequence of shame their those [who] say to me aha! - aha!

16 Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee; let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified!

May they exult and they may rejoice - in you all [those who] seek you may they say continually he is great Yahweh [those who] love salvation your.

17 But I am afflicted and needy: the Lord thinketh upon me. Thou art my help and my deliverer: my God, make no delay.

And I - [am] poor and needy [the] Lord may he think to me [are] help my and deliverer my you O God my may not you delay.
