Psalms

Psalm 40

1 I WAITED patiently for the LORD; and he turned towards me and heard my supplication.

2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the mire of destruction, and set my feet upon a rock and established my goings.

3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God, that many shall see it and rejoice and trust in the LORD.

4 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the LORD, and who returns not to vanity; neither to lying conversation.

5 Many are thy works which thou hast done for us, O LORD our God, and thy wonderful care for us; I have declared that they are too many to be numbered; there is no one like unto thee.

6 Sacrifices and offerings thou didst not desire; but as for me, I now have understanding; burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

7 Then said I, Lo, I come; in the beginning of the en_lbp_books, it is written of me,

8 I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart.

9 I have preached thy righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD; let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me; 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 fails me.

13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, continue to help me.

14 Let them be ashamed and confounded who seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame who wish me evil.

15 Let them be overthrown for their disgraceful conduct who say to me, Aha, aha!

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.

17 But I am poor and needy; O my LORD, they have conspired against me; help me and deliver me; do not tarry, O my God.

詩篇

第40篇

1 (大衛的詩,交與伶長。)我曾耐性等候耶和華;他垂聽我的呼求。

2 他從禍坑裏,從淤泥中,把我拉上來,使我的腳立在磐石上,使我腳步穩當。

3 他使我口唱新歌,就是讚美我們神的話。許多人必看見而懼怕,並要倚靠耶和華。

4 那倚靠耶和華、不理會狂傲和偏向虛謊[lies]之輩的,這人便為有福。

5 耶和華─我的神啊,你所行的奇事,並你向我們所懷的意念甚多,不能向你數算[reckoned up]。若要陳明,其事不可勝數。

6 祭物和禮物,你不喜悅;你已經開通我的耳朵。燔祭和贖罪祭非你所要。

7 那時我說:看哪,我來了。我的事在經卷上已經記載了。

8 我的神啊,我樂意照你的旨意行;你的律法在我心裏。

9 我在大會中傳揚[preached]公義的佳音;看哪[lo],我未曾止住[have not refrained]我的嘴唇。耶和華啊,這是你所知道的。

10 我未曾把你的公義藏在心裏;我已陳明你的信實和你的救恩;我在大會中未曾隱瞞你的慈愛和誠實。

11 耶和華啊,求你不要向我止住你的慈悲。願你的慈愛和誠實常常保佑我。

12 因有無數的禍患圍困我,我的罪孽追上了我,使我不能昂首;這罪孽比我的頭髮還多,我就心寒膽戰。

13 耶和華啊,求你開恩搭救我。耶和華啊,求你速速幫助我。

14 願那些尋找我、要滅我命的,一同蒙羞抱愧[ashamed and confounded];願那些願我遭災[wish me evil]的,都被趕退[be driven backward]受辱。

15 願那些對我說啊哈、啊哈的,因羞愧而敗亡。

16 願一切尋求你的,因你高興歡喜。願那些喜愛你救恩的,常說:當尊耶和華為大。

17 但我是困苦窮乏的,主仍顧念我;你是幫助我的,搭救我的。我的[my]神啊,求你不要耽延。
