Psalms 40-Recovery Version

【RCV】Psalms 40

1
I waited patiently on Jehovah, And He inclined to me And heard my cry.
2
Then He brought me up out of a pit of destruction, Out of the miry clay; And He set my feet upon a rock, Establishing my steps.
3
Then He put a new song in my mouth, A praise to our God. Many see it and fear, And they trust in Jehovah.
4
Blessed is the man Who makes Jehovah his trust And does not turn to the proud Or to those who turn aside after deception.
5
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful deeds which You have done And Your thoughts toward us; They cannot be set in order unto You. Were I to declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to recount.
6
You do not delight in sacrifice and offering; You have prepared ears for Me; You do not require burnt offering and sin offering.
7
Then I said, Behold, I have come; In the scroll of the book It is written concerning Me.
8
I delight in doing Your will, O My God; Indeed Your law is within My inward parts.
9
I bear tidings of righteousness In the great congregation. Behold, I will not withhold My lips; O Jehovah, 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 lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation.
11
You, O Jehovah, do not withhold Your compassions from me; May Your lovingkindness and Your truth Preserve me continually.
12
For evils encompass me until they cannot be counted; My iniquities have so overtaken me That I cannot see; They are more numerous than the hairs of my head; Thus my heart fails me.
13
Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; O Jehovah, hasten to help me.
14
May those who seek my life to destroy it Be put to shame and confounded together; May those who take delight in my misfortune Be turned back and humiliated.
15
May those who say to me, Aha! Aha! Be desolate because of their shame.
16
May all those who seek You Be glad and rejoice in You; May those who love Your salvation say continually, May Jehovah be magnified!
17
But I am poor and needy; May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my Deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
