Psalms 40
1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” I had waited patiently for the Lord, when he inclined himself unto me, and heard my cry.
大卫的诗，交与伶长。 我曾耐性等候耶和华； 他垂听我的呼求。
2 And he brought me up out of the noiseful deep, out of the miry clay, and he set up my feet upon a rock, making firm my steps.
他从祸坑里， 从淤泥中，把我拉上来， 使我的脚立在磐石上， 使我脚步稳当。
3 And he placed in my mouth a new song, a praise unto our God: many will see it, and fear; and they will trust in the Lord.
他使我口唱新歌， 就是赞美我们 神的话。 许多人必看见而惧怕， 并要倚靠耶和华。
4 Happy is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and turneth not unto the proud, nor such as stray aside unto lies.
那倚靠耶和华、 不理会狂傲和偏向虚假之辈的， 这人便为有福！
5 Many things hast thou done, O Lord my God; thy wonderful deeds and thy thoughts toward us—there is none to be compared unto thee—will I tell and speak of, [though] they are too numerous to be counted.
耶和华—我的 神啊，你所行的奇事， 并你向我们所怀的意念甚多，不能向你陈明； 若要陈明，其事不可胜数。
6 Sacrifice and meat-offering thou desirest not—ears hast thou hollowed out unto me—burnt-offering and sin-offering thou demandest not.
祭物和礼物，你不喜悦； 你已经开通我的耳朵。 燔祭和赎罪祭非你所要。
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the roll of the book it is written down for me;
那时我说：看哪，我来了！ 我的事在经卷上已经记载了。
8 To fulfill thy will, O my God, do I desire; and thy law is within my heart.
我的 神啊，我乐意照你的旨意行； 你的律法在我心里。
9 I announce [thy] righteousness in the great assembly: lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Lord, thou well knowest it.
我在大会中宣传公义的佳音； 我必不止住我的嘴唇。 耶和华啊，这是你所知道的。
10 Thy righteousness have I never hidden within my heart; thy faithfulness and thy salvation have I spoken of openly: I have not concealed thy kindness and thy truth before the great assembly.
我未曾把你的公义藏在心里； 我已陈明你的信实和你的救恩； 我在大会中未曾隐瞒你的慈爱和诚实。
11 Do thou, O Lord, not withhold thy mercies from me: let thy kindness and thy truth continually watch over me.
耶和华啊，求你不要向我止住你的慈悲！ 愿你的慈爱和诚实常常保佑我！
12 For evils without number have compassed me about; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see: they are more numerous than the hairs of my head; and my courage hath forsaken me.
因有无数的祸患围困我， 我的罪孽追上了我，使我不能昂首； 这罪孽比我的头发还多， 我就心寒胆战。
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, hasten to my help.
耶和华啊，求你开恩搭救我！ 耶和华啊，求你速速帮助我！
14 May those be made ashamed and put to the blush together that seek after my soul to take her away: let them be driven backward and be confounded, that wish for my mishap.
愿那些寻找我、要灭我命的，一同抱愧蒙羞！ 愿那些喜悦我受害的，退后受辱！
15 May they be astonished in consequence of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha!
愿那些对我说阿哈、阿哈的， 因羞愧而败亡！
16 [But] may all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee: may they say continually, The Lord be magnified, —those that love thy salvation.
愿一切寻求你的，因你高兴欢喜！ 愿那些喜爱你救恩的，常说：当尊耶和华为大！
17 But though I be poor and needy, the Lord will think of me: my help and my deliverer art thou: O my God, delay not.
但我是困苦穷乏的，主仍顾念我； 你是帮助我的，搭救我的。 神啊，求你不要耽延！
