Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 40
(For the one directing, Of Dovid. Mizmor)
I waited patiently for Hashem;
and He inclined unto me,
and heard my cry.
Hashem brought me up also out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock,
and established my goings.Job 30:19; Luk 6:48
And He hath put a shir chadash in my mouth,
even tehillah (hymn of praise) unto Eloheinu;
many shall see it, and fear,
and shall trust in Hashem.Psa 33:3; Rev 5:9
Ashrei is that man that maketh Hashem his trust,
and looketh not to the proud ones,
nor such as turn aside to lies (false g-ds).Psa 2:12; Pro 16:20; Jer 17:7
Many, O Hashem Elohai,
are Thy wonderful works which Thou hast done,
and Thy thoughts which are to us-ward;
they cannot be recounted unto Thee;
if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.
Zevach and minchah Thou didst not desire;
mine ears hast Thou pierced;40:7 cf Ps 22:17
olah (burnt offering) and chata'ah (sin offering) hast Thou not required.Psa 51:18
Then said I, Hinei, I come;
in the megillat sefer it is written of me,40:8 cf MJ 10:5-7Jhn 5:46
I delight to do Thy will, O Elohai;
yea, Thy torah is within my heart.Isa 50:5
I have preached tzedek in the kahal rav (great congregation);
hinei, I have not restrained my lips,
O Hashem, Thou knowest.Psa 35:18
I have not hid thy tzedek within my lev;
I have declared Thy emunah (faithfulness) and Thy teshuah (salvation);
I have not concealed Thy chesed
and Thy emes from the kahal rav.Mat 12:35
Withhold not Thou thy rachamim from me, O Hashem;
let Thy chesed and Thy emes continually preserve me.
For innumerable evils have compassed me about;
mine avonot (iniquities) have overtaken me,
so that I am not able to look up;
they are more than the hairs of mine head;
therefore my lev faileth me.Psa 31:11
Be pleased, O Hashem, to deliver me;
O Hashem, make haste to help me.Psa 22:20
Let them be ashamed and mutually confounded
that seek after my nefesh to destroy it;
let them be driven backward and put to shame
that wish me evil.Psa 35:4
Let them be appalled because of their boshet (shame)
that say unto me, Aha, aha.Psa 35:21
Let all those that seek Thee
rejoice and be glad in Thee;
let such as love Thy teshuah say continually:
Hashem be magnified!
But I am poor and needy;
yet Adonoi thinketh upon me;
Thou art my ezer and my deliverer;
make no tarrying, O Elohai.Psa 70:6
