39:7. Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast
pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not
require:
39:8. Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written
of me
39:9. That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy
law in the midst of my heart.
39:10. I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not
restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
39:11. I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy
truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth
from a great council.
39:12. Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy
and thy truth have always upheld me.
39:13. For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have
overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the
hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.
My iniquities... That is, the sins of all mankind, which I have taken
upon me.
39:14. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me. Look down, O Lord, to help me.
39:15. Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my
soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that
desire evils to me.
39:16. Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me: 'T is
well, t' is well.
'T is well... The Hebrew here is an interjection of insult and derision,
like the Vah. Matt. 27.49.
39:17. Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such
as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
39:18. But I am a beggar and poor: the Lord is careful for me. Thou art
my helper and my protector: O my God, be not slack.
Psalms Chapter 40
Beatus qui intelligit.
The happiness of him that shall believe in Christ; notwithstanding the
humility and poverty in which he shall come: the malice of his enemies,
especially of the traitor Judas.
40:1. Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
40:2. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the
poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
40:3. The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon
the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
40:4. The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his
couch in his sickness.
40:5. I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have
sinned against thee.
40:6. My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his
name perish?
40:7. And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart
gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same
purpose.
40:8. All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils
to me.
40:9. They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth
rise again no more?
