Psalms 40:1 ASV: 


Sure, here's the ASV translation of: 
Psalms 40:1: 
I waited patiently for Jehovah; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Psalms 40:2: 
He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

Psalms 40:3: 
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 Jehovah.

Psalms 40:4: 
Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Psalms 40:5: 
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; They cannot be set in order unto thee; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.

Psalms 40:6: 
Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.

Psalms 40:7: 
Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of me:

Psalms 40:8: 
I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart.

Psalms 40:9: 
I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest.

Psalms 40:10: 
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 assembly.

Psalms 40:11: 
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

Psalms 40:12: 
For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me.

Psalms 40:13: 
Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me: Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

Psalms 40:14: 
Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.

Psalms 40:15: 
Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha.

Psalms 40:16: 
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified.

Psalms 40:17: 
But I am poor and needy; `Yet' the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God. Psalm 41 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
