(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:

(39-13) 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.

(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.

(40-1) 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.

(40-5) I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

(40-10) For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.

(40-12) By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

(40-13) But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.

(41-1) for the sons of Core.> (41-2) As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God.

(41-5) These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God: With the voice of joy and praise; the noise of one feasting.

(41-6) Why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance,

(41-12) Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

(42-1) for David.> Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.

(42-2) For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?

(42-5) To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? (42-6) Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

(43-1) for the sons of Core, to give understanding.> (43-2) We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us, The work thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old.

(43-4) For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them.

(43-7) For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.

(43-9) In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.

(43-11) Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.
