Psalms 40:7-11 in English

⁷ Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll 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 proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, 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 assembly.

¹¹ Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

⁷ And if he came to see me, his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

⁸ All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

⁹ They denounced a wicked word against me, saying, Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

¹⁰ For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up his heel against me.

¹¹ But thou, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

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 LORD, 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 LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

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 LORD, 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 LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

⁷ All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

⁸ They denounced a wicked word against me, saying, Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

⁹ For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up his heel against me.

¹⁰ But you, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

¹¹ By this I know that you have delighted in me, because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

⁷ Then said I, Lo, I am come; in the roll 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 published righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I will not refrain my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

¹¹ Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

⁷ So I said to you, “Yahweh, here I am, to do the things that have been written in the scroll that contains your laws, things that you want me to do.”

⁸ O my God, I delight to do what you desire; I keep your laws within my inner being.

⁹ Whenever all your people are gathered, I have told them about how you save us. Yahweh, you know that I have not been afraid to tell that to them.

¹⁰ And I have not kept to myself the news that you always act justly/fairly; when many of your people have gathered together to worship you in the temple, I have told them that you are faithful to us and save us. I have ◄not concealed/openly told people► that you faithfully love us and act loyally toward us.

¹¹ Yahweh, do not stop being merciful to me. Because you faithfully love me PRS and are loyal to me, always protect me.

⁷ All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

⁸ They denounced a wicked word against me, saying, Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

⁹ For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up his heel against me.

¹⁰ But you, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

¹¹ By this I know that you have delighted in me, because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

⁷ Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.

⁸ I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

⁹ I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.

¹⁰ I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

⁷ Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.

⁸ I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

⁹ I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.

¹⁰ I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

¹¹ Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

⁷ Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book,

⁸ My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.

⁹ I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words.

¹⁰ Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.

¹¹ Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.

⁷ Then said I, Behold, I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me —

⁸ To do thy good pleasure, my God, is my delight, and thy law is within my heart.

⁹ I have published righteousness in the great congregation: behold, I have not withheld my lips, Jehovah, thou knowest.

¹¹ Withhold not thou, Jehovah, thy tender mercies from me; let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

⁷ And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.

⁸ All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me.

⁹ They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?

¹⁰ For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.

¹¹ But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them.

⁷ Then I said, “Look! Here I am! I've come to do what is written about me in the scroll of the Book.

⁸ I am pleased to do your will, my God—your Law guides my mind.”

⁹ I have announced the good news of salvation to the whole congregation. I don't keep quiet, Lord, as you know.

¹⁰ I have not kept the truth of your goodness hidden inside me—I have spoken of your trustworthiness and your salvation. I have not concealed your unfailing love and your faithfulness from the whole congregation.

¹¹ Lord, please don't keep back your mercy from me. May your trustworthy love and faithfulness always be my protection.

⁷ Then said I, Lo, I come: for in the rolle of the booke it is written of me,

⁸ I desired to doe thy good will, O my God: yea, thy Lawe is within mine heart.

⁹ I haue declared thy righteousnesse in the great Congregation: loe, I will not refraine my lippes: O Lord, thou knowest.

¹⁰ I haue not hidde thy righteousnesse within mine heart, but I haue declared thy trueth and thy saluation: I haue not conceiled thy mercy and thy trueth from the great Congregation.

¹¹ Withdrawe not thou thy tender mercie from mee, O Lord: let thy mercie and thy trueth alway preserue me.

⁷ (40-8) Then said I: 'Lo, I am come with the roll of a book which is prescribed for me;

⁸ (40-9) I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'

⁹ (40-10) I have preached righteousness in the great congregation, lo, I did not refrain my lips; O LORD, Thou knowest.

¹⁰ (40-11) I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation; I have not concealed Thy mercy and Thy truth from the great congregation.

¹¹ (40-12) Thou, O LORD, wilt not withhold Thy compassions from me; let Thy mercy and Thy truth continually preserve me.

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 Lord, thou knowest.

¹¹ (40:12) Do thou, O Lord, not withhold thy mercies from me: let thy kindness and thy truth continually watch over me.

⁷ And if he came to see me, his heart spoke vainly; He gathered iniquity to himself; He went forth and spoke in like manner.

⁸ All my enemies whispered against me; Against me they devised my hurt.

⁹ They denounced a wicked word against me, saying, Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

¹⁰ For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, lifted up his heel against me.

¹¹ But thou, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

⁷ Therefore I said, “Lo, I come; In the scroll of the book it is prescribed to me;

⁹ I have proclaimed thy righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD! thou knowest!

¹⁰ I hide not thy justice in my heart; I declare thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I conceal not thy mercy and truth from the great assembly.

⁸ My delight, O God, is to do your will, and your law is within my heart.”

⁹ Well, O Lord, you know that, with lips unrestrained, your righteousness I told in the great congregation,
