CHAP. XL.
1 The benefite of confidence in God. 6 Obedience is the best sacrifice. 11 The sence of Dauids euils inflameth his prayer.
1[To the chiefe Musician, A Psalme of Dauid.] I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined vnto me, and heard my crie.1
2He brought me vp also out of an horrible pit, out of the mirie clay, and set my feete vpon a rock, and established my goings.2
5Many, O Lord my God; are thy wonderfull workes which thou hast done, and thy thoughts, which are to vs ward: they cannot be reckoned vp in order vnto thee: if I would declare and speake of them, they are moe then can be numbred.5
6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, mine eares hast thou opened: burnt offering and sinne-offering hast thou not required.6
7Then sayd I, Loe, I come: in the volume of the booke it is written of me:
8I delight to doe thy will, O my God: yea thy lawe is within my heart.8
12For innumerable euils haue compassed me about, mine iniquities haue taken hold vpon me, so that I am not able to looke vp: they are moe then the haires of mine head, therefore my heart faileth me.12
13Be pleased, O Lord, to deliuer me: O Lord, make haste to helpe me.
14Let them be ashamed and confounded together, that seeke after my soule to destroy it: let them be driuen backward, and put to shame, that wish me euill.14
15Let them be desolate, for a reward on their shame, that say vnto me, Aha, aha!
