Psalm 40
To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David

Psalm 40:1-9, St. Flavian 112, CM

1   I waited for the Lord my God,
          and patiently did bear;
     At length to me he did incline
          my voice and cry to hear.
✏
 2   He took me from a fearful pit,
          and from the miry clay,
     And on a rock he set my feet,
          establishing my way.
✏
 3   He put a new song in my mouth,
          our God to magnify:
     Many shall see it, and shall fear,
          and on the Lord rely.
✏
 4   O blessed is the man whose trust
          upon the Lord relies;
     Respecting not the proud, nor such
          as turn aside to lies.
✏
 5    O Lord my God, full many are
          the wonders thou hast done;
     Thy gracious thoughts to us-ward far
          above all thoughts are gone:
✏
     In order none can reckon them
          to thee: if them declare,
     And speak of them I would, they more
          than can be number'd are.
✏
 6    No sacrifice nor offering
          didst thou at all desire;
     Mine ears thou bor'd: sin-off 'ring thou
          and burnt didst not require:
✏
 7   Then to the Lord these were my words,
          I come, behold and see;
     Within the volume of the book
          it written is of me:
✏
 8   To do thy will I take delight,
          O thou my God that art;
     Yea, that most holy law of thine
          I have within my heart.
✏
 9   Within the congregation great
          I righteousness did preach:
     Lo, thou dost know, O Lord, that I
          refrained not my speech.

Psalm 119
Teth, the 9th Part.

Psalm 119:65-72, St. Thomas 127, CM

65   Well hast thou with thy servant dealt,
          as thou didst promise give.
66   Good judgment me, and knowledge teach,
          for I thy word believe.
✏
67   Ere I afflicted was I stray'd;
          but now I keep thy word.
68   Both good thou art, and good thou do'st:
          teach me thy statutes, Lord.
✏
69   The men that are puff 'd up with pride
          against me forg'd a lie;
     Yet thy commandements observe
          with my whole heart will I.
✏
70   Their hearts, through worldly ease and wealth,
          as fat as grease they be:
     But in thy holy law I take
          delight continually.
✏
71   It hath been very good for me
          that I afflicted was,
     That I might well instructed be,
          and learn thy holy laws.
✏
72   The word that cometh from thy mouth
          is better unto me
     Than many thousands and great sums
          of gold and silver be.
