          DASV: Psalm 40    

For the music director, of David, a psalm

1 I waited patiently for the LORD,
     and he turned to me, and heard my cry.
2 He pulls me out of a swirling pit,
     out of the muck and mud;
           he set my feet upon a rock,
     and made my steps secure.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth,
          a song of praise to our God.
      Many will see it and fear,
          and trust in the LORD.

4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,
     and does not turn to the proud,
           or turn away after false gods.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonderful works you have done,
     and your plans toward us;
           no one can compare with you.
      If I would declare and list them,
          they would be too many to count.

6 You have no delight in sacrifice and offering;
     you have opened my ears,
      you have not required burnt offerings and sin offerings.
7 Then I said, "Look, I have come;
     in the scroll of the book it is written about me,
8 'I delight to do your will, O my God;
     your law is in my heart.'"

9 I have proclaimed righteousness in the great assembly;
     look, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD, as you know.
10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart;
     I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation,
           I have not concealed your loyal love and your faithfulness
     from the great assembly.

11 Do not withhold your mercies from me, O LORD;
     let your loyal love and your faithfulness continually protect me.
12 For innumerable troubles surround me;
     my sins have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see;
           they are more than the hairs of my head,
     and my heart fails me.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me;
     hurry to help me, O LORD.
14 Let all those who seek to destroy my life
     be put to shame and humiliated;
           may those who seek my harm
     be turned back and dishonored.
15 Let them be appalled by their shame;
     those who say to me, "Aha, he's ours now."
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
     let those who love your salvation say continually,
           "The LORD is great."

17 But as for me, I am poor and needy;
          may the Lord think about me.
     You are my help and my deliverer;
          do not delay, O my God.
