Psalm 40

Verses of Psalm 40 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 - He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 - He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
4 - Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.
5 - Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.
6 - Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced,; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7 - Then I said, "Here I am, I have come- it is written about me in the scroll.
8 - I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
9 - I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, as you know, O LORD.
10 - I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation. I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.
11 - Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect me.
12 - For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.
13 - Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.
14 - May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
15 - May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be appalled at their own shame.
16 - But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "The LORD be exalted!"
17 - Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
