Psalms 40
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
In finem. Psalmus ipsi David. Exspectans exspectavi Dominum, et intendit mihi.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my activities.
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 has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, 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 Blessed is that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Beatus vir cujus est nomen Domini spes ejus, et non respexit in vanitates et insanias falsas.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
Multa fecisti tu, Domine Deus meus, mirabilia tua; et cogitationibus tuis non est qui similis sit tibi. Annuntiavi et locutus sum: multiplicati sunt super numerum.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; mine ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.
Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti; aures autem perfecisti mihi. Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti;
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
tunc dixi: Ecce venio. In capite libri scriptum est de me,
8 I delight to do your will, O my God: yea, your law is within my heart.
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 have not refrained my lips, O LORD, you know.
Annuntiavi justitiam tuam in ecclesia magna; ecce labia mea non prohibebo: Domine, tu scisti.
10 I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great congregation.
Justitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo; veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi; non abscondi misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam a concilio multo.
11 Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your loving kindness and your 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 taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart fails 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 adjuvandum me respice.
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.
Confundantur et revereantur simul, qui quærunt animam meam ut auferant eam; convertantur retrorsum et revereantur, qui volunt mihi mala.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
Ferant confestim confusionem suam, qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge!
16 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
Exsultent et lætentur super te omnes quærentes te; et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum.
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks upon me: you are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
Ego autem mendicus sum et pauper; Dominus sollicitus est mei. Adjutor meus et protector meus tu es; Deus meus, ne tardaveris.
