Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 40:1 | To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry. |
| 40:2 | He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. |
| 40:3 | And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. |
| 40:4 | Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. |
| 40:5 | Many, O LORD, my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are toward us, they cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. |
| 40:6 | Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required. |
| 40:7 | Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, |
| 40:8 | I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. |
| 40:9 | I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. |
| 40:10 | I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation. |
| 40:11 | Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me. |
| 40:12 | For innumerable evils have encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me. |
| 40:13 | Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. |
| 40:14 | Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. |
| 40:15 | Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha. |
| 40:16 | Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. |
| 40:17 | But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my God. |
Noah Webster's Bible 1833
While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
