Ps 40 (King James)

¹ I waited patiently for the LORD; 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 LORD.
⁴ Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
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.
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 LORD, 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 LORD: 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 LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, 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.
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.
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.

Ps 40 (Vulgate)

¹ In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.
² [Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem : in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.
³ Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.
⁴ Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus ; universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.
⁵ Ego dixi : Domine, miserere mei ; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.
⁶ Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi : Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus ?
⁷ Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur ; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.
⁸ In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei ; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.
⁹ Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me : Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat ?
¹⁰ Etenim homo pacis meæ in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.
¹¹ Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me ; et retribuam eis.
¹² In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.
¹³ Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti ; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum.
¹⁴ Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël a sæculo et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.]
