10
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
11
When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume
away like a moth: surely every man
is
vanity. Selah.
12
Hear my prayer, O L
ORD
, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I
am
a stranger with thee,
and
a sojourner, as all my fathers
were.
13
O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
CHAPTER 40
I waited patiently for the L
ORD
; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a
rock,
and
established my goings.
3
And he hath put a new song in my mouth,
even
praise unto our God: many shall see
it,
and
fear, and shall trust in the L
ORD
.
4
Blessed
is
that man that maketh the L
ORD
his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such
as turn aside to lies.
5
Many, O L
ORD
my God,
are
thy wonderful works
which
thou hast done, and thy thoughts
which are
to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee:
if
I would
declare and speak
of them,
they are more than can be numbered.
6
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and
sin offering hast thou not required.
7
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book
it is
written of me,
8
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law
is
within my heart.
9
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips,
O L
ORD
, thou knowest.
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
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O L
ORD
: let thy lovingkindness and thy
truth continually preserve me.
12
For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon
me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head:
therefore my heart faileth me.
13
Be pleased, O L
ORD
, to deliver me: O L
ORD
, make haste to help me.
14
Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let
them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
