Psalm 40:1-10 (King James Version)

Psalm 40

 ¹I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

 ²He 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.

 ³And 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 LORD.

 ⁴Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

 ⁵Many, O LORD 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.

 ⁶Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

 ⁷Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

 ⁸I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

 ⁹I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

 ¹⁰I 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.
