19:039:006 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew:
surely they are
disquieted
in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not
who
shall
gather them.
19:039:007 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
19:039:008 Deliver me from all my transgressions:
make me not the
reproach
of the foolish.
19:039:009 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
19:039:010 Remove thy stroke away from me: I
am consumed by the blow of
thine
hand.
19:039:011 When thou with rebukes dost correct man
for iniquity, thou
makest
his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely
every
man
is vanity. Selah.
19:039:012 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.
19:039:013 O spare me, that I may recover strength,
before I go hence,
and
be no more.
19:040:001 I waited patiently for the lord; and
he inclined unto me, and
heard
my cry.
19:040:002 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.
19:040:003 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.
19:040:004 Blessed is that man that maketh the lord
his trust, and
respecteth
not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
19:040:005 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.
19:040:006 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;
mine ears hast
thou
opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou
not
required.
19:040:007 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume
of the book it is
written
of me,
19:040:008 I delight to do thy will, O my God:
yea, thy law is within my
heart.
19:040:009 I have preached righteousness in the great
congregation: lo, I
have
not refrained my lips, O lord, thou knowest.
19:040:010 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.
19:040:011 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from
me, O lord: let thy
lovingkindness
and thy truth continually preserve me.
19:040:012 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.
