Chapter 40-David And The High Spirit

40 - David And The High Spirit Chapter 40 I waited patiently for the Lord He inclined to me and heard my cry He drew me up from the desolate pit Out of the miry bog And set my feet upon a rock Making my steps secure He put a new song in my mouth A song of praise to our God Many will see and fear Put their trust in the Lord Blessed is the man who makes The Lord his trust Who does not turn to the proud To those who go astray after false Gods Thou hast multiplied O Lord my God Thy wondrous deeds and thy thoughts toward me None can compare with thee Were I to proclaim and tell of them They would be than can be numbered Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire But thou hast given me an open ear Burnt offering and sin offering Thou hast not required Then I said lo I come In the roll of the book it is written of me I delight to do thy will O my God Thy law is within my heart I have told the glad news of deliverance In the great congregation Lo I have not restrained my lips As thou knowest O Lord I have not hid thy saving help within my heart I have spoken of thy faithfulness and thy salvation I have not concealed thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness From the great congregation Do not thou O Lord with hold Thy mercy from me Let thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness Ever preserve me For evils have encompassed me Without number My iniquities have overtaken me Till I cannot see They are more than the hairs of my head My heart fails me Be pleased O Lord to deliver me O Lord make haste to help me Let them be put to shame and confusion altogether Who seek to snatch away my life Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor Who desire my hurt Let them be appalled because of their shame Who say to me aha aha But may all who seek thee Rejoice and be glad in thee May those who love thy salvation Say continually great is the Lord As for me I am poor and needy But the Lord takes thought for me Thou art my help and my deliverer Do not tarry O my God
