David Stands Rejoicing Out of the Pit
by emmanuel_higgins
40
:
1
Psalms 40:1
chevron_left
chevron_right
I waited patiently
for the
L
ORD
; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock,
and
established my goings.
3
And he hath put a new song in my mouth,
even
praise unto our God: many shall see
it
, and fear, and shall trust in the
L
ORD
.
4
Blessed
is
that man that maketh the
L
ORD
his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5
Many, O
L
ORD
my God,
are
thy wonderful works
which
thou hast done, and thy thoughts
which are
to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee:
if
I would declare and speak
of them
, they are more than can be numbered.
6
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book
it is
written of me,
8
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law
is
within my heart.
9
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O
L
ORD
, thou knowest.
10
I 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 the great congregation.
11
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O
L
ORD
: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12
For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
13
Be pleased, O
L
ORD
, to deliver me: O
L
ORD
, make haste to help me.
14
Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The
L
ORD
be magnified.
17
But I
am
poor and needy;
yet
the Lord thinketh upon me: thou
art
my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
