Psalms [Praises] 40:8-12

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

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

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

¹¹Don’t withhold your tender racham ·merciful love· from me, Adonai . Let your cheshed ·loving-kindness· and your truth continually preserve me.

¹²For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.
