Psalms 40
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; and he attended to me, and listened to my supplication.
in finem David psalmus expectans expectavi Dominum et intendit mihi
2 And he brought me up out of a pit of misery, and from miry clay: and he set my feet on a rock, and ordered my goings aright.
et exaudivit preces meas et eduxit me de lacu miseriae et de luto fecis et statuit super petram pedes meos et direxit gressus meos
3 And he put a new song into my mouth, [even] a hymn to our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall hope in the Lord.
et inmisit in os meum canticum novum carmen Deo nostro videbunt multi et timebunt et sperabunt in Domino
4 Blessed [is] the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and [who] has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.
beatus vir cuius est nomen Domini spes ipsius et non respexit in vanitates et insanias falsas
5 O Lord my God, you have multiplied your wonderful works, and in your thoughts there is none who shall be likened to you: I declared and spoke [of them]: they exceeded number.
multa fecisti tu Domine Deus meus mirabilia tua et cogitationibus tuis non est qui similis sit tibi adnuntiavi et locutus sum multiplicati sunt super numerum
6 Sacrifice and offering you would not; but a body have you prepared me: whole burnt offering and [sacrifice] for sin you did not require.
sacrificium et oblationem noluisti aures autem perfecisti mihi holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti
7 Then I said, Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,
tunc dixi ecce venio in capite libri scriptum est de me
8 I desired to do your will, O my God, and your law in the midst of mine heart.
ut facerem voluntatem tuam Deus meus volui et legem tuam in medio cordis mei
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; behold! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, you know my righteousness.
adnuntiavi iustitiam in ecclesia magna ecce labia mea non prohibebo Domine tu scisti
10 I have not hid your truth within my heart, and I have declared your salvation; I have not hid your mercy and your truth from the great congregation.
iustitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi non abscondi misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam a concilio multo
11 But you, Lord, remove not your compassion far from me; your mercy and your truth have helped me continually.
tu autem Domine ne longe facias miserationes tuas a me misericordia tua et veritas tua semper susceperunt me
12 For innumerable evils have encompassed me; my transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; they are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; and my heart has failed me.
quoniam circumdederunt me mala quorum non est numerus conprehenderunt me iniquitates meae et non potui ut viderem multiplicatae sunt super capillos capitis mei et cor meum dereliquit me
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, draw near to help me.
conplaceat tibi Domine ut eruas me Domine ad adiuvandum me respice
14 Let those that seek my soul, to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded together; let those that wish me evil be turned backward and put to shame.
confundantur et revereantur simul qui quaerunt animam meam ut auferant eam convertantur retrorsum et revereantur qui volunt mihi mala
15 Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward.
ferant confestim confusionem suam qui dicunt mihi euge euge
16 Let all those that seek you, O Lord, exult and rejoice in you; and let them that love your salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
exultent et laetentur super te omnes quaerentes te et dicant semper magnificetur Dominus qui diligunt salutare tuum
17 But I am poor and needy; the Lord will take care of me; you are my helper, and my defender, O my God, delay not.
ego autem mendicus sum et pauper Dominus sollicitus est mei adiutor meus et protector meus tu es Deus meus ne tardaveris
