PSAL. XL.

[1]

I waited for the Lord my God,

and patiently did bear:
At length to me he did incline
my voice and cry to hear.

2

He took me from a fearfull pit,

and from the myrie clay,
And on a rock he set my feet,
establishing my way.

3

He put a new song in my mouth,

out God to magnify:
Many shal see it, and shal fear,
and on the Lord rely.

4

O blessed is the man whose trust

upon the Lord relies:
Respecting not the proud, nor such
as turn aside to lies.

5

O Lord my God, ful many are

the wonders thou hast done;
Thy gracious thoughts, to us-ward, far
above all thoughts, are gone:
In order none can reckon them
to thee: if them declare,
And speak of them I would, they moe
then can be numbred are.

6

No sacrifice, nor offering

didst thou at all desire,
Mine ears thou bor'd: sin offring thou,
and burnt, didst not require,

7

Then to the Lord, these were my words,

I come, behold and see:
Within the volume of thy Book,
it written is of me:

8

To do thy wil I take delight,

O thou my God that art:
Yea, that most holy Law of thine,
I have within my heart.

9

Within the congregat on great

I righteousnesse did preach:
Lo, thou dost know, O Lord, that I
refrained not my speech.

10

I never did within my heart

conceal thy righteousnesse:
I thy salvation have declar'd,
and shown thy faithfulnesse:
Thy kindnesse, which most loving is,
concealed have not I,
Nor from the congregation great
have hid thy verity.

11

Thy tender mercies, Lord, from me

O do thou not restrain:
Thy loving kindnesse, and thy truth,
let them me stil maintain.

12

For ills, past reck'ning, compasse me.

and mine iniquities
Such hold upon me taken have,
I cannot lift mine eyes:
They more then hairs are on mine head,
thence is my heart dismaid.

13

Be pleased, Lord, to rescue me:

Lord, hasten to mine aid.

14

Sham'd and confounded be they all

that seek my soul to kil:
Yea, let them backward driven be,
and sham'd that wish me ill.

15

For a reward of this their shame,

confounded let them be,
That in this manner scoffing say,
Aha, ahah, to me.

16

In thee let all be glad, and joy,

who seeking thee abide:
Who thy salvation love, say still,
the Lord be magnifi'd.

17

I'm poor and needy, yet the Lord

of me a care doth take:
Thou art my help and Saviour,
my God, no tarrying make.
