Psalm 40:1-Psalm 41:1 - Thanksgiving And A Cry For Help
1 For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.
and He turned to me and heard my cry for help.
out of the muddy clay,
and set my feet on a rock,
making my steps secure.
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord.
4
who has put his trust in the Lord
and has not turned to the proud
or to those who run after lies!
Your wonderful works and Your plans for us;
none can compare with You.
If I were to report and speak of them,
they are more than can be told.
6
You open my ears to listen.
You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.
it is written about me in the volume of the scroll.
Your instruction lives within me.”
9
see, I do not keep my mouth closed
as You know, Lord.
I spoke about Your faithfulness and salvation;
I did not conceal Your constant love and truth
from the great assembly.
11
Your constant love and truth will always guard me.
my sins have overtaken me; I am unable to see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
and my courage leaves me.
hurry to help me, Lord.
14
be disgraced and confounded.
Let those who wish me harm
be driven back and humiliated.
be horrified because of their shame.
16
let those who love Your salvation continually say,
“The Lord is great!”
the Lord thinks of me.
You are my helper and my deliverer;
my God, do not delay.

the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.
