Psalm 40


interpretation by mahaksadasa

Psalm 40

Patiently, I wait for the Lord
He turns to me and He hears me cry
He lifts me out of this slimy pit
Out of the muck and mire

He sets my feet upon the Rock
And gives me firm place to stand
He puts a New Song into my mouth
A song of praise to Sweet Lord

(Yet) I am poor and needy, may the Lord think of me
You are mny help and my deliverer
Oh, my Lord, please do not delay

Be pleased, Oh Lord, to save me, my heart fails within me
May Your Love and Your Truth always protect me
Troubles without number always surround me
My sins all defeat me, and I cannot see

(Yet) I am poor and needy, may the Lord think of me
You are mny help and my deliverer
Oh, my Lord, please do not delay

Be pleased, Oh Lord, to save me
Oh Lord, come quickly to help me
May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion
May all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace
May all tose who say to me, "Aha Aha!" be appalled at their own plight

(Yet) I am poor and needy, may the Lord think of me
You are mny help and my deliverer
Oh, my Lord, please do not delay

May all those who seek You
Those who freely sing Your Names
Let them rejoice and be glad in You
Recognizing always Your Fame
May those who love Your salvation
Always say "The Lord be exalted!"

(Yet) I am poor and needy, may the Lord think of me
You are mny help and my deliverer
Oh, my Lord, please do not delay
