Psalms 40
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] I waited patiently for Jehovah, and he turned to me, and heard my cry.
in finem David psalmus expectans expectavi Dominum et intendit mihi
2 He also brought me up out of a pit of tumult, out of the miry clay; and he set my feet on a rock, making my steps secure.
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 has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Jehovah.
et inmisit in os meum canticum novum carmen Deo nostro videbunt multi et timebunt et sperabunt in Domino
4 Blessed is the man who makes Jehovah his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
beatus vir cuius est nomen Domini spes ipsius et non respexit in vanitates et insanias falsas
5 Many, Jehovah, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to 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 adnuntiavi et locutus sum multiplicati sunt super numerum
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sin offering you did not require.
sacrificium et oblationem noluisti aures autem perfecisti mihi holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti
7 Then I said, "Look, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book;
tunc dixi ecce venio in capite libri scriptum est de me
8 to do your will, O God, I desired. And your Law is within my heart."
ut facerem voluntatem tuam Deus meus volui et legem tuam in medio cordis mei
9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Look, I will not seal my lips, Jehovah, you know.
adnuntiavi iustitiam in ecclesia magna ecce labia mea non prohibebo Domine tu scisti
10 I have not hidden 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 assembly.
iustitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi non abscondi misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam a concilio multo
11 Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, Jehovah. 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 surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. 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, Jehovah, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Jehovah.
conplaceat tibi Domine ut eruas me Domine ad adiuvandum me respice
14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
confundantur et revereantur simul qui quaerunt animam meam ut auferant eam convertantur retrorsum et revereantur qui volunt mihi mala
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."
ferant confestim confusionem suam qui dicunt mihi euge euge
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let Jehovah be exalted."
exultent et laetentur super te omnes quaerentes te et dicant semper magnificetur Dominus qui diligunt salutare tuum
17 But I am poor and needy. May Jehovah think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.
ego autem mendicus sum et pauper Dominus sollicitus est mei adiutor meus et protector meus tu es Deus meus ne tardaveris
