God Sustains His Servant.

(Psa 70:1–5 )
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:1 -

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

I waited H6960 [fn]patiently H6960 for the LORD H3068;

And He reached H5186 down H5186 to me and heard H8085 my cry H7775.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:2 -

He brought H5927 me up H5927 out of the pit H953 of [fn]destruction H7588, out of the mud H3121;

And He set H6965 my feet H7272 on a rock H5553, making H3559 my footsteps H838 firm H3559.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:3 -

He put H5414 a new H2319 song H7892 in my mouth H6310, a song H8416 of H8416 praise H8416 to our God H430;

Many H7227 will see H7200 and fear H3372

And will trust H982 in the LORD H3068.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:4 -

How blessed H835 is the man H1397 who H834 has made H7760 the LORD H3068 his trust H4009,

And has not turned H6437 to the [fn]proud H7295, nor to those who become H7750 involved H7750 in falsehood H3577.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:5 -

Many H7227, LORD H3068 my God H430, are the wonders H6381 which You have done H6213,

And Your thoughts H4284 toward H413 us;

There H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 to compare H6186 with You.

If I would declare H5046 and speak H1696 of them,

They would be H6105 too H4480 numerous H6105 to count H5608.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:6 -

You have not desired H2654 [fn]sacrifice H2077 and meal H4503 offering H4503;

You have [fn]opened H3738 my ears H241;

You have not required H7592 burnt H5930 offering H5930 and sin H2401 offering H2401.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:7 -

Then H227 I said H559, “Behold H2009, I have come H935;

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:9 -

I have proclaimed H1319 good H1319 news H1319 of righteousness H6664 in the great H7227 congregation H6951;

Behold H2009, I will not restrain H3607 my lips H8193,

LORD H3068, You know H3045.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:10 -

I have not hidden H3680 Your righteousness H6666 within H8432 my heart H3820;

I have spoken H559 of Your faithfulness H530 and Your salvation H8668;

I have not concealed H3582 Your mercy H2617 and Your truth H571 from the great H7227 congregation H6951.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:11 -

You, LORD H3068, will not withhold H3607 Your compassion H7356 from me;

[fn]Your mercy H2617 and Your truth H571 will continually H8548 watch H5341 over H5341 me.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:12 -

For evils H7451 beyond H5704 H369 number H4557 have surrounded H661 me;

My guilty H5771 deeds H5771 have overtaken H5381 me, so that I am H3201 not able H3201 to see H7200;

They are H6105 more H4480 numerous H6105 than H4480 the hairs H8185 of my head H7218,

And my heart H3820 has [fn]failed H5800 me.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:13 -

Be H7521 pleased H7521, LORD H3068, to rescue H5337 me;

Hurry H2363, LORD H3068, to help H5833 me.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:14 -

May those be H954 ashamed H954 and humiliated H3637 together H3162

Who seek H1245 my [fn]life H5315 to destroy H5595 it;

May those be turned H5472 back H268 and dishonored H3637

Who H2655 delight H2655 [fn]in my hurt H7451.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:15 -

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:16 -

May all H3605 who seek H1245 You rejoice H7797 and be H8055 glad H8055 in You;

Do not delay H309, my God H430.
