Psalm 40:1-10
Of David.
1 I hoped earnestly for Yahweh; And He inclined to me and heard my cry for help.
2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a high rock, He established my steps.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in Yahweh.
4 How blessed is the man who has made Yahweh his trust,
And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who stray into falsehood.
5 Many, O Yahweh my God, are the wondrous deeds You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. I would declare and speak of them, But they are too numerous to recount.
6 Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
8 I desire to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my inner being.”
9 I proclaim good news of righteousness in the great assembly; Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O Yahweh, You know.
10 I do not conceal Your righteousness within my heart; I speak of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I do not hide Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.
