Faith Persevering in Trial

40To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry.H5329H4210H1732H6960H6960H3068H5186H8085H7775 2He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.H5927H7588H953H3121H2916H6965H7272H5553H3559H838 3He has put a new song in my mouth—Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the LORD.H5414H2319H7892H6310H8416H430H7227H7200H3372H982H3068 4Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.H835H1397H7760H3068H4009H6437H7295H7750H3577 5Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.H7227H3068H430H6381H6213H4284H6186H5046H1696H6105H5608 6Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.H2077H4503H2654H241H3738H5930H2401H7592 7Then I said, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me.H559H935H4039H5612H3789 8I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart."H2654H6213H7522H430H8451H8432H4578 9I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, You Yourself know.H1319H6664H7227H6951H3607H8193H3068H3045 10I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth From the great assembly.H3680H6666H8432H3820H559H530H8668H3582H2617H571H7227H6951 11Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O LORD; Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.H3607H7356H3068H2617H571H8548H5341 12For innumerable evils have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; Therefore my heart fails me.H4557H7451H661H5771H5381H3201H7200H6105H8185H7218H3820H5800 13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me!H7521H3068H5337H3068H2363H5833 14Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion Who seek to destroy my life; Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor Who wish me evil.H954H2659H3162H1245H5315H5595H5472H268H3637H2655H7451 15Let them be confounded because of their shame, Who say to me, "Aha, aha!"H8074H6118H1322H559H1889H1889 16Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let such as love Your salvation say continually, "The LORD be magnified!"H1245H7797H8055H157H8668H559H8548H3068H1431 17But I am poor and needy; Yet the LORD thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God.H6041H34H136H2803H5833H6403H309H430
