Psalms [Praises] 40:8-16

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.

¹³Be pleased, Adonai , to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Adonai .

¹⁴Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

¹⁵Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”

¹⁶Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let all who 'ahav ·affectionately love· your salvation say continually, “Let Adonai be exalted and magnified!”
