Tree Of Life Version

Psalms 40:6-13 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

6. Many things You have done, Adonai my God —Your plans for us are wonderful— there is none to be compared to You! If I were to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to count!

7. Sacrifice and offering You did not desire —my ears You have opened— burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.

8. Then I said: “Here I am, I have come— in the scroll of a book it is written about me.

9. I delight to do Your will, O my God. Yes, Your Torah is within my being.”

10. I proclaim good news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I am not shutting my lips— Adonai, You know!

11. I did not hide Your righteousness within my heart. Rather I declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation. I did not conceal Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

12. Adonai, do not withhold Your compassions from me. Let Your mercy and Your truth always protect me.

13. For evils beyond number surround me, my sins have overtaken me —I cannot see— they are more than the hairs of my head —and my heart fails me.
