MHRPC: Psalm 40E

Psalm 40E: Psalm 40:1-9

Fingal, 66.66.D. [A]

1. ¹ I waited for the LORD;
        He stooped and heard my cry.
² He brought me from the pit,
        Out of the dungeon mire,
My feet set on a rock,
        My footsteps made secure.
³ My lips He gave a song,
        A song to praise our God.

2. Many will see with awe,
        And so will trust the LORD.
⁴ Blessed he who trusts in GOD,
        And turns not to false men.
⁵ You have worked wonders, LORD;
        No one compares to You!
Should I declare each one,
        Their number is too great..

3. ⁶ You want no offering,
        Nor ask a sacrifice,
But You have given me
        A ready ear to hear.
You ask no off'rings burnt
        Nor sacrifice for sin.
⁷ So I say, "Here I come,
        As in the scroll inscribed.

4. ⁸ "To do Your will, O God,
        To me is my delight.
Your law is part of me,
        Deep in my heart, O God."
⁹ In congregation great
        I told Your righteousness.
You know, LORD, I spoke out;
        I did not close my lips.
