Psalm Chapter 40

Ps 40 

Eminent instrumental chant of David.

1 Wait upon Jehovah for HE will listen to the cry of freedom of those who stretch out and hope on HIM.

2 out of a disturbing-uproars, I rise up on my feet as though from mire/dreg and sticky mud, I ascend to a craggy rock from pit hole to be established in my goings;

3 let them see it, as I give abundant praise, with a new song in my mouth, to revere Jehovah of elohim, for I trust in HIM.

4 Happy is the valiant man who set Jehovah as his refuge/insurer, and turn down/detrude falsehood and those who turn to arrogance.

5 Jehovah of all Elohim has done wonders in abundance - and I will arrange in order, reckon, rehearse and boldly declare HIS powerful thoughts. 

6 just as slaughtered-animals for offering, even a burnt offering for sin are demanded; for me, I desire my ears to be dug open. (Ex 21:6 - stake one's life for God).

7 It is said, they will come - with the roll/volume of book, and it is written;

8 all Leaders/Elohim shall desire - to do YOUR will, because YOUR law (torah) is within their inner-being (intestine);

9 however, what was held back in their lips, is for the congregation to know, the abundant Justification of Jehovah, by which they will be of fresh flesh/vitalized.

10 it is said, for righteousness to be in the midst of the congregation, they will deny their hearts some things, but what will cover up things for their deliverance is faith, truth and HIS abundant kindness.

11 it is the compassion, the kindness and the truth of Jehovah, which can perpetually preserve us, that they have held back.

12 Though, they are reached/overtaken and surrounded by a number of evil like hairs of the head; they still see themselves to be able to forsake perversity and to be strong in their heart.

(repeated in Ps 70)

13 Jehovah will be pleased to deliver us, if our senses/faculty of perception for serious-help is unto Jehovah. 

14 but, they are put to shame altogether as they were searched out, and it was detected that, they are backward types who taunt souls on their sofa/couch and are well pleased with evil 

15 however, those coming at the tail end will be appalled/devastated for the shame, and will say, aha, ha bros;

16 they will be searched out (also) if they love Jehovah and they will rejoice and be cheerful, saying things to magnify HIM continually for HIS deliverance.

17 and if leaders of men (elohim) delay, Adonay will contrive/plait things of all-round-help to deliver the depressed and the needy.
