Psalm - douay rheims

Chapter 40

¹ Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
² Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor : the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
³ The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth : and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
⁴ The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow : thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.
⁵ I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me : heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
⁶ My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?
⁷ And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things : his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.
⁸ All my enemies whispered together against me : they devised evils to me.
⁹ They determined against me an unjust word : shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?
¹⁰ For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
¹¹ But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again : and I will requite them.
¹² By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me : because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
¹³ But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence : and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
¹⁴ Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.

Chapter 40

¹ To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
² He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
³ And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
⁴ Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
⁵ Many, O LORD, my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are toward us, they cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
⁶ Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.
⁷ Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
⁸ I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
⁹ I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
¹⁰ I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
¹¹ Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
¹² For innumerable evils have encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me.
¹³ Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
¹⁴ Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
¹⁵ Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
¹⁶ Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
¹⁷ But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my God.

Psalm - basic english

Chapter 40

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm.> When I was waiting quietly for the Lord, his heart was turned to me, and he gave ear to my cry.
² He took me up out of a deep waste place, out of the soft and sticky earth; he put my feet on a rock, and made my steps certain.
³ And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord.
⁴ Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit.
⁵ O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.
⁶ You had no desire for offerings of beasts or fruits of the earth; ears you made for me: for burned offerings and sin offerings you made no request.
⁷ Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book,
⁸ My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.
⁹ I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words.
¹⁰ Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.
¹¹ Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.
¹² For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.
¹³ Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help.
¹⁴ Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.
¹⁵ Let those who say to me, Aha, aha! be surprised because of their shame.
¹⁶ Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great.
¹⁷ Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.
