Out of the miry clay;
And He set my feet upon a rock,
Establishing my steps.

anew song in my mouth,
A praise to our God.

And they trust in Jehovah.

Who makes Jehovah his trust
And does not turn to the proud
Or to those who turn aside after deception.

Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful deeds which You have done
And Your
athoughts toward us;

Within My heart;

congregation.

You, O Jehovah, do not withhold
Your compassions from me;

Preserve me continually.

40:12
For evils encompass me until they cannot be counted;
My iniquities have so overtaken me
That I cannot see;
They are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
Thus my heart fails me.
Psa. 40
:13
40:13
aBe pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me;
O Jehovah, hasten to help me.
Psa. 40

aMay those who seek my life to destroy it
Be put to shame and confounded together;
May those who take delight in my misfortune
Be turned back and humiliated.
Psa. 40

May those who say to me,
aAha! Aha!
Be desolate because of their shame.

May all those who seek You
Be glad and rejoice in You;
May those who love Your salvation say continually,
May Jehovah be
amagnified!

But I am poor and needy;
May the Lord think about me.
You are my help and my Deliverer;
O my God, do not delay.
