Psalms 40
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
In finem, Psalmus ipsi David. Expectans expectavi Dominum, et intendit mihi.
2 He brought me up also out of the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, He established my goings.
Et exaudivit preces meas: et eduxit me de lacu miseriæ, et de luto fæcis. Et statuit super petram pedes meos: et direxit gressus meos.
3 And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
Et immisit in os meum canticum novum, carmen Deo nostro. Videbunt multi, et timebunt: et sperabunt in Domino.
4 Happy is the man that hath made the LORD his trust, and hath not turned unto the arrogant, nor unto such as fall away treacherously.
Beatus vir, cuius est nomen Domini spes eius: et non respexit in vanitates et insanias falsas.
5 Many things hast Thou done, O LORD my God, even Thy wonderful works, and Thy thoughts toward us; there is none to be compared unto Thee! If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be told.
Multa fecisti tu Domine Deus meus mirabilia tua: et cogitationibus tuis non est qui similis sit tibi. Annunciavi et locutus sum: multiplicati sunt super numerum.
6 Sacrifice and meal-offering Thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast Thou opened; burnt-offering and sin-offering hast Thou not required.
Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti: aures autem perfecisti mihi. Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti:
7 Then said I: 'Lo, I am come with the roll of a book which is prescribed for me;
tunc dixi: Ecce venio. In capite libri scriptum est de me
8 I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'
ut facerem voluntatem tuam: Deus meus volui, et legem tuam in medio cordis mei.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation, lo, I did not refrain my lips; O LORD, Thou knowest.
Annunciavi iustitiam tuam in ecclesia magna, ecce labia mea non prohibebo: Domine tu scisti.
10 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.
Iustitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo: veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi. Non abscondi misericordiam tuam, et veritatem tuam a concilio multo.
11 Thou, O LORD, wilt not withhold Thy compassions from me; let Thy mercy and Thy truth continually preserve me.
Tu autem Domine ne longe facias miserationes tuas a me: misericordia tua et veritas tua semper susceperunt me.
12 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.
Quoniam circumdederunt me mala, quorum non est numerus: comprehenderunt me iniquitates meæ, et non potui ut viderem. Multiplicatæ sunt super capillos capitis mei: et cor meum dereliquit me.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me.
Complaceat tibi Domine ut eruas me: Domine, ad adiuvandum me respice.
14 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.
Confundantur et revereantur simul, qui quærunt animam meam, ut auferant eam. Convertantur retrorsum, et revereantur qui volunt mihi mala.
15 Let them be appalled by reason of their shame that say unto me: 'Aha, aha.'
Ferant confestim confusionem suam, qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.
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.'
Exultent et lætentur super te omnes quærentes te: et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus: qui diligunt salutare tuum.
17 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.
Ego autem mendicus sum, et pauper: Dominus sollicitus est mei. Adiutor meus, et protector meus tu es: Deus meus ne tardaveris.
