Psalms 40

A sacrifice of praise, and prayer for help.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay;

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:

Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust,

Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done,

Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in;

Then said I, Lo, I am come;

I delight to do thy will, O my God;

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly;

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah;

For innumerable evils have compassed me about;

Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me:

Let them be put to shame and confounded together

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

But I am poor and needy;
