| 40:5 | Many, O LORD 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. |
| 40:6 | Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. |
| 40:7 | Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, |
| 40:8 | I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. |
| 40:9 | I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. |

| 40:11 | Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. |
| 40:12 | 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. |
| 40:13 | Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. |
| 40:14 | 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. |
| 40:15 | Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. |
| 40:16 | Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. |
| 40:17 | But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. |
