Psalm 40:1–11

I ^awaited patiently for the Lord;

And he inclined unto me, and ^bheard my cry.

²He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the ^cmiry ^dclay,

And ^eset my feet upon a rock, and ^festablished my goings.

³And he hath put ^ga new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:

Many shall ^hsee it, and ^hfear, and shall ⁱtrust in the Lord.

^4kBlessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust,

And respecteth not ^lthe proud, nor such as ^mturn aside to lies.

⁵Many, O Lord my God, are ⁿthy wonderful works which thou hast done,

And ^othy thoughts which are to us-ward:

They cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee:

If I would declare and speak of them,

^pThey are moe than can be numbered.

^6qSacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;

Mine ears hast thou opened:

Burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

⁷Then said I, Lo, I come:

In the ^rvolume of the book it is ^swritten of me,

⁸I delight to do ^tthy will, O my God:

Yea, thy law is ^uwithin my heart.

⁹I have preached righteousness ^win the great congregation:

Lo, ^xI have not ^yrefrained my lips,

O Lord, ^zthou knowest.

¹⁰I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;

I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation:

I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from ^uthe great congregation.

^11yWithhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord:

Let ^athy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
