PS-39: 12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, 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] . PS-39: 13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. PS-40: 1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. PS-40: 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. PS-40: 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. PS-40: 4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

PS-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. PS-40: 6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. PS-40: 7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me, PS-40: 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart. PS-40: 9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. PS-40: 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. PS-40: 11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. PS-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. PS-40: 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. PS-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. PS-40: 15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. PS-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. PS-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. PS-41: 1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. PS-41: 2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. PS-41: 3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. PS-41: 4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. PS-41: 5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? PS-41: 6 And if he come to see [me] , he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it] . PS-41: 7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. PS-41: 8 An evil disease, [say they] , cleaveth fast unto him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more. PS-41: 9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me. PS-41: 10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. PS-41: 11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. PS-41: 12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. PS-41: 13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. PS-42: 1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. PS-42: 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? PS-42: 3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God? PS-42: 4 When I remember these [things] , I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. PS-42: 5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the help of his countenance. PS-42: 6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
