| [1] I wayted patiently vpon God, and he enclined vnto me [his eare]: and heard my crying |
[1]I WAITED patiently for the LORD; and he turned towards me and heard my supplication. |
| [2]He brought me also out of an horrible pyt, out of the dirtie mire: and set my feete vpon a rocke, and directed my goynges |
[2]He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the mire of destruction, and set my feet upon a rock and established my goings. |
| [3]And he hath put a newe song in my mouth: euen a thankesgeuyng vnto our Lorde |
[3]And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God, that many shall see it and rejoice and trust in the LORD. |
| [4]Many shall see it, and feare: and shall put their trust in God |
[4]Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the LORD, and who returns not to vanity; neither to lying conversation. |
| [5]Blessed is the man that hath set his hope in God: and turned not vnto the proude, and to such as decline to lyes |
[5]Many are thy works which thou hast done for us, O LORD our God, and thy wonderful care for us; I have declared that they are too many to be numbered; there is no one like unto thee. |
| [6]O God my Lord, great are thy wonderous workes which thou hast done: & none can count in order thy benefites towarde vs, yf I woulde declare them and speake of them, they shoulde be mo then I am able to expresse |
[6]Sacrifices and offerings thou didst not desire; but as for me, I now have understanding; burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. |
| [7]Thou wouldest haue no sacrifice or offeryng, but thou hast opened myne eares: thou hast not required burnt offerynges and sacrifice for sinne |
[7]Then said I, Lo, I come; in the beginning of the books, it is written of me, |
| [8]Then sayde I, lo I am come: in the booke of thy lawe it is written of me that I shoulde fulfyll thy wyll O my God, I am content to do it, yea thy lawe is within the middest of my brest |
[8]I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart. |
| [9]I haue declared thy righteousnes in a great congregatio: lo I wil not refraine my lippes O God thou knowest [it. |
[9]I have preached thy righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. |
| [10]I haue not hyd thy ryghteousnesse within my heart: my talkyng hath ben of thy trueth and of thy saluation. (40:11) I haue not concealed thy louyng mercie and trueth: from the great congregation |
[10]I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. |
| [11](40:12) Withdrawe not thou thy mercie from me O God: let thy louyng kyndnesse and thy trueth alway preserue me |
[11]Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD; let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. |
| [12](40:13) For innumerable troubles are come about me, my sinnes haue taken such holde vpon me that I am not able to loke vp: yea they are mo in number then the heeres of my head, & my heart hath fayled me |
[12]For innumerable evils have surrounded me; mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head; and my heart fails me. |
| [13](40:14) O God let it be thy pleasure to deliuer me: make haste O God to helpe me |
[13]Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, continue to help me. |
| [14](40:15) Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seke after my soule to destroy it: let them be dryuen backwarde & be put to rebuke that wyshe me euyll |
[14]Let them be ashamed and confounded who seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame who wish me evil. |
| [15](40:16) Let them be desolate in recompence of their shame: that say vnto me, fye vpon thee, fye vpon thee |
[15]Let them be overthrown for their disgraceful conduct who say to me, Aha, aha! |
| [16](40:17) Let all those that seeke thee be glad and ioyfull in thee: and let such as loue thy saluation, say alway God be magnified |
[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](40:18) As for me I am afflicted and needye, but God careth for me: thou art my ayde and delyuerer, O my God make no long tarying |
[17]But I am poor and needy; O my LORD, they have conspired against me; help me and deliver me; do not tarry, O my God. |
