The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Tanach: Psalms 40: 8 (40:9) I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'
Psalms 40: 9 (40:10) I have preached righteousness in the great congregation, lo, I did not refrain my lips; O LORD, Thou knowest.
Psalms 40: 10 (40:11) I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation; I have not concealed Thy mercy and Thy truth from the great congregation. Psalms 40: 11 (40:12) Thou, O LORD, wilt not withhold Thy compassions from me; let Thy mercy and Thy truth continually preserve me.
Psalms 40: 12 (40:13) For innumerable evils have compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me.
Psalms 40: 13 (40:14) Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me.
Psalms 40: 14 (40:15) Let them be ashamed and abashed together that seek after my soul to sweep it away; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.
Psalms 40: 15 (40:16) Let them be appalled by reason of their shame that say unto me: 'Aha, aha.'
Psalms 40: 16 (40:17) Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'The LORD be magnified.'
Psalms 40: 17 (40:18) But, as for me, that am poor and needy, the Lord will account it unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O my God, tarry not.
