TEHILLIM 40

To chief singer. A psalm of Dawiḏ. 1 I waited for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry. 2 And He drew me Out of the pit of destruction, Out of the muddy clay, And He put my feet upon a rock, He is establishing my steps. 3 Then He put a new song in my mouth; Praise to our Elohim; Many see and revere, And trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. 4 Baruḵ is that man who has made 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to falsehood. 5 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 my Elohim, many are the wonders Which You have done, and Your purposes toward us; There is no one to compare with You; I declare and speak: They are too many to be numbered. 6 Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire? But a body You have prepared for Me; Burnt offering and sin offering You did not ask for? 7 Then I said, \"See, I have come; In the scroll of the Book it is prescribed for me. 8 I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Elohim, And Your Torah is within my inward parts.\" 9 I have proclaimed the Good News of righteousness, In the great assembly; See, I do not restrain my lips, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, You know. 10 I did not conceal Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your trustworthiness and Your deliverance; I did not hide Your kindness and Your truth From the great assembly. 11 Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄; Let Your kindness and Your truth always watch over me. 12 For evils without number have surrounded me; My wickednesses have overtaken me, And I have been unable to see; They became more than the hairs of my head; And my heart has failed me. 13 Be pleased, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, to deliver me; O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, hasten to help me! 14 Let those who seek to destroy my life Be ashamed and abashed altogether; Let those who are desiring my evil Be driven back and put to shame. 15 Let those who say to me, \"Aha, aha!\" Be appalled at their own shame. 16 Let all those who seek You Rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your deliverance always say, “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 be exalted!\" 17 But I am poor and needy; Let 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 think upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my Elohim, do not delay!
