Psalm 40:4

American Standard Version (1901)

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

See the chapter Copy

Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good: Blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him.

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.

They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.

In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments.

Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.

By thee have I been holden up from the womb; Thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: My praise shall be continually of thee.
