40:1  Hoping, I have hoped in Lord Jehovah, for he turned toward me and he heard my prayer.
40:2  And he brought me up from the pit of misery and from the mire of destruction; he set my feet upon a rock and he has made my ways ready.
40:3  He gave a new song by my mouth- glory to God! For many will see and will rejoice, and they will hope in Lord Jehovah.
40:4  Blessed is the son of man who trusts upon The Name of Lord Jehovah, and has not returned to futility, neither to lying speech.
40:5  Many are the wonders that you have done, Lord Jehovah, our God, and your thoughts concerning us, and there is none like you; I have shown and I have said, “They are beyond computation”!
40:6  With sacrifices and with offerings you have not been pleased, but you have pierced the ears for me; burnt peace offerings for sin you have not requested.
40:7  Then I said, “ Behold, I have come, for in the first of The Writings it is written about me:”
40:8  To do your pleasure oh, God, I have desired, and your Law is within my belly.
40:9  I have preached your righteousness in the great congregation and I have not restrained my lips, Lord Jehovah, you do know.
40:10  For I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart but I have told your salvation and your faithfulness, and I have not hidden your kindness and your faithfulness from the great congregation.
40:11  And you, Lord Jehovah, do not you restrain from me your mercies, but let your mercies and your faithfulness keep me at all times.
40:12  Because evils without number surround me, and my sins have overtaken me and I was not able to see, and they have increased more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has forsaken me.
40:13  Be pleased, Lord Jehovah, to deliver me; oh, Lord Jehovah, stay to help me.
40:14  They shall be ashamed and put to shame, those who seek to kill my soul; they shall turn their behind and they shall be put to shame, those who seek my affliction!
40:15  Let them be ashamed of their shame repeatedly, those who have said against me, “Aha, aha!”
40:16  All who seek you will rejoice in you and those who love your salvation will say always, “Great is Lord Jehovah!”
40:17  And I am poor and afflicted, my Lord; they have plotted against me; You are my helper and my deliver; my God, do not delay!”
