PSALMS 40
1
For victory, the psalm of David. I abiding abode the Lord; and he gave attention to me. And he heard my prayers;
2
and he led out me from the pit of wretchedness, and from the filth of dregs. And he ordained my feet on a stone; and he dressed my goings.
3
And he sent into my mouth a new song; a song to our God. Many men shall see, and dread; and shall hope in the Lord.
4
Blessed is the man, of whom the name of the Lord is his hope; and he beheld not into vanities, and into false vengeances.
5
My Lord God, thou hast made thy marvels many; and in thy thoughts none is, that is like thee toward us. I told and I spake; and they be multiplied above number.
6
Thou wouldest or desiredest not sacrifice and offering; but thou madest perfectly ears to me. Thou askedest not burnt sacrifice, and other sacrifice for sin;
7
then I said, Lo! I come. In the head of the book it is written of me,
8
that I should do thy will; my God, I would also to do it; and thy law in the midst of mine heart.
9
I told thy rightfulness [or rightwise-ness] in a great church; lo! I shall not refrain my lips, Lord, thou knewest.
10
I hid not thy rightfulness [or right-wiseness] in mine heart; I said thy truth and thine health. I hid not thy mercy, and thy truth, from a much council.
11
But thou, Lord, make not far thy merciful doings from me; thy mercy and truth ever[more] take me up.
12
For why evils, of which is no number, encompassed me; my wicked-nesses have taken me, and I might not, that I should see. Those [or They] be multiplied above the hairs of mine head; and mine heart forsook me.
13
Lord, please it to thee, that thou deliver me; Lord, behold thou to help me .

Notes
+
Compare Psalm 40:13-17to Psalm 70:1-5.
14
Be they shamed, and ashamed together; that seek my life, to take away it. Be they turned aback, and be they shamed or ashamed; that will or desire evils to me.
15
Bear they their confusion anon; that say to me, Well! well! in scorn.
16
All men that seek thee, be fully joyful [or full out joy], and be glad in thee; and say they, that love thine health, The Lord be magnified ever-[more].
17
Forsooth I am a beggar and poor; the Lord is busy of me. Thou art mine helper and my defender; my God, tarry thou not.
