Original 1611 King James Bible (KJV)

1 The benefit of confidence in God. 6 Obedience is the best sacrifice. 11 The sense of David's evils inflameth his prayer.

40:1 ¶ [[To the chiefe Musician, 5329 z8764 A [Psalme] 4210 of Dauid.]] 1732 I waited 6960 z8765 patiently 6960 z8763 for the LORD, 3068 and he inclined 5186 z8799 vnto x413 me, and heard 8085 z8799 my crie. 7775

40:2 He brought me vp 5927 z8686 also out of an horrible 7588 pit, 953 x4480 out of the mirie 3121 clay, 2916 x4480 and set 6965 z8686 my feete 7272 vpon x5921 a rock, 5553 [and] established 3559 z8790 my goings. 838

40:3 And he hath put 5414 z8799 a new 2319 song 7892 in my mouth, 6310 [euen] praise 8416 vnto our God: 430 many 7227 shall see 7200 z8799 it, and feare, 3372 z8799 and shall trust 982 z8799 in the LORD. 3068

40:4 Blessed 835 [is] that man 1397 that x834 maketh 7760 z8804 the LORD 3068 his truste: 4009 and respecteth 6437 z8804 x413 not x3808 the proud, 7295 nor such as turne aside 7750 z8802 to lies. 3577

40:5 Many, 7227 O LORD 3068 my God; 430 [are] thy wonderfull y6381 z8737 workes x6381 [which] thou x859 hast done, 6213 z8804 and thy thoughts, 4284 [which are] to x413 vs ward: they cannot x369 be reckoned vp in order 6186 z8800 vnto thee: x413 [if] I would declare 5046 z8686 and speake 1696 z8762 [of them], they are moe 6105 z8804 then can be numbred. 5608 z8763 x4480

40:6 Sacrifice 2077 and offering 4503 thou didst not x3808 desire, 2654 z8804 mine eares 241 hast thou opened: 3738 z8804 burnt offering 5930 and sinne-offering 2401 hast thou not x3808 required. 7592 z8804

40:7 Then x227 sayd 559 z8804 I, Loe, x2009 I come: 935 z8804 in the volume 4039 of the booke 5612 it [is] written 3789 z8803 of x5921 me:

40:8 I delight 2654 z8804 to doe 6213 z8800 thy will, 7522 O my God: 430 yea thy lawe 8451 [is] within 8432 my heart. 4578

40:9 I haue preached 1319 z8765 righteousnesse 6664 in the great 7227 congregation: 6951 loe, x2009 I haue not x3808 refrained 3607 z8799 my lippes, 8193 O LORD, 3068 thou x859 knowest. 3045 z8804

40:10 I haue not x3808 hid 3680 z8765 thy righteousnesse 6666 within 8432 my heart, 3820 I haue declared 559 z8804 thy faithfulnesse 530 and thy saluation: 8668 I haue not x3808 concealed 3582 z8765 thy louing kindnesse, 2617 and thy truth, 571 from the great 7227 congregation. 6951

40:11 With-hold 3607 z8799 not x3808 thou x859 thy tender mercies 7356 from x4480 me, O LORD: 3068 let thy louing kindnesse, 2617 and thy trueth 571 continually 8548 preserue 5341 z8799 me.

40:12 For x3588 innumerable 4557 x5704 x369 euils 7451 haue compassed y661 z8804 me about, x661 x5921 mine iniquities 5771 haue taken hold 5381 z8689 vpon me, so that I am not x3808 able 3201 z8804 to looke vp: 7200 z8800 they are moe 6105 z8804 then the haires 8185 x4480 of mine head, 7218 therefore my heart 3820 faileth 5800 z8804 me.

40:13 Be pleased, 7521 z8798 O LORD, 3068 to deliuer 5337 z8687 me: O LORD, 3068 make haste 2363 z8798 to helpe 5833 me.

40:14 Let them be ashamed 954 z8799 and confounded 2659 z8799 together, 3162 that seeke y1245 z8764 after x1245 my soule 5315 to destroy 5595 z8800 it: let them be driuen 5472 z8735 backward, 268 and put to shame, 3637 z8735 that wish 2655 me euill. 7451

40:15 Let them be desolate, 8074 z8799 for x5921 a reward 6118 on their shame, 1322 that say 559 z8802 vnto me, Aha, 1889 aha! 1889

40:16 Let all x3605 those that seeke 1245 z8764 thee, reioyce 7797 z8799 and bee glad 8055 z8799 in thee: let such as loue 157 z8802 thy saluation, 8668 say 559 z8799 continually, 8548 The LORD 3068 be magnified. 1431 z8799

40:17 But I x589 [am] poore 6041 and needy, 34 [yet] the Lord 136 thinketh 2803 z8799 vpon me: thou x859 [art] my helpe 5833 and my deliuerer, 6403 z8764 make no x408 tarrying, 309 z8762 O my God. 430
