0 1 The benefite of confidence in God. 6 Obedience is the best sacrifice. 11 The sence of Dauids euils inflameth his prayer.

¶ [fn][To the chiefe Musician, A Psalme of Dauid.

XL ¶ I waited patiently for the LORD, and he inclined vnto me, and heard my crie. 2 [fn]He brought me vp also out of an horrible pit, out of the mirie clay, and set my feete vpon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, euen praise vnto our God: many shall see it, and feare, and shall trust in the LORD. 4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his truste: and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turne aside to lies. 5 [fn]Many, O LORD my God; are thy wonderfull workes which thou hast done, and thy thoughts, which are to vs ward: they cannot be reckoned vp in order vnto thee: if I would declare and speake of them, they are moe then can be numbred. 6 [fn][fn]Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, mine eares hast thou opened: burnt offering and sinne-offering hast thou not required. 7 Then sayd I, Loe, I come: in the volume of the booke it is written of me: 8 [fn]I delight to doe thy will, O my God: yea thy lawe is within my heart. 9 I haue preached righteousnesse in the great congregation: loe, I haue not refrained my lippes, O LORD, thou knowest. 10 I haue not hid thy righteousnesse within my heart, I haue declared thy faithfulnesse and thy saluation: I haue not concealed thy louing kindnesse, and thy truth, from the great congregation. 11 With-hold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy louing kindnesse, and thy trueth continually preserue me. 12 [fn]For innumerable euils haue compassed me about, mine iniquities haue taken hold vpon me, so that I am not able to looke vp: they are moe then the haires of mine head, therefore my heart faileth me. 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliuer me: O LORD, make haste to helpe me. 14 [fn]Let them be ashamed and confounded together, that seeke after my soule to destroy it: let them be driuen backward, and put to shame, that wish me euill. 15 Let them be desolate, for a reward on their shame, that say vnto me, Aha, aha! 16 Let all those that seeke thee, reioyce and bee glad in thee: let such as loue thy saluation, say continually, The LORD be magnified. 17 But I am poore and needy, yet the LORD thinketh vpon me: thou art my helpe and my deliuerer, make no tarrying, O my God.
