Psalms 40
1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm. Certainly I waited for Yahweh and he stretched out to me and he heard cry for help my.
達味詩歌，交與樂官。 我慹切誠懇地期待了上主，祂便垂顧俯聽了我的哀訴。
2 And he brought up me - from a pit of roaring from [the] mud of the mire and he set on a rock feet my he established steps my.
祂把我從禍坑與污泥中救出，放我在磐石上，穩定我的腳步。
3 And he put in mouth my - a song new praise to God our they will see many [people] so they may fear and they may trust in Yahweh.
祂將新歌置於我口，為讚美我們的天主！眾人見了起敬起畏，都將全心信賴上主。
4 How blessed! [is] the man who he has made Yahweh trust his and not he has turned to proud people and [those who] fall away of falsehood.
凡全依靠上主，不對傲慢傾慕，且又不依附虛偽的，這人真有福！
5 Many you have made - you - O Yahweh God my wonders your and plans your to us not - to compare to you I will declare and I will speak they are [too] numerous for recounting.
上主，我的天主! 你行的奇蹟異事，真令人不知幾許！你對我們的計畫，無人能與你相輔，我縱願宣揚伸述，也多得不可勝數。
6 Sacrifice and offering - not you desired ears you dug for me burnt offering and sin offering not you asked for.
犧牲與素祭已非你所喜，就開了我的耳朵；全燔之祭以及贖罪之祭，也非你所要。
7 Then I said here! I have come in [the] scroll of [the] book [it is] written on me.
於是我說：你看，我已到來！關於我，書卷上已有記載：
8 To do will your O God my I desire and law your [is] in [the] midst of inward parts my.
我的天主，承行你的旨意為我所喜愛，你的法律常於我的心懷。
9 I have borne news righteousness - in [the] assembly great here! lips my not I restrain O Yahweh you you know.
在盛大的集會中，我宣揚了你的正義，看，我並沒有閉口不言，上主，你全知悉。
10 Righteousness your not I have concealed - in [the] midst of heart my faithfulness your and salvation your I have spoken not I have hidden covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your to [the] assembly great.
我從沒有將你的義隱蔽在心間，對你的忠厚和救援時時各處宣傳；對於你的慈愛和忠義，在盛會中我沒有隱蔽，
11 You O Yahweh not you will withhold compassion your from me covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your continually they preserve me.
上主，求你對我不要撤回你的憐憫，願你的慈愛和忠誠對我時加保存。
12 For they have surrounded me - troubles until there not [was] number they have overtaken me iniquities my and not I am able to see they are numerous more than [the] hairs of head my and heart my it has abandoned me.
因為，四周困迫我的災禍，實不可勝數；我的罪過緊握著我，使我無法目睹；數目比我頭髮還多，真使我心痛苦。
13 Be pleased O Yahweh to deliver me O Yahweh to help my make haste!
上主，求你開恩救我，上主，求你速來救我。
14 May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [those who] seek life my to snatch away it may they be turned back backwards and may they be humiliated [the] [people] desirous of harm my.
願那些圖謀害我的人，一同蒙恥受辱，願那些喜歡我遭難的人，一起含羞退走！
15 May they be appalled on [the] consequence of shame their those [who] say to me aha! - aha!
願那些哈哈戲笑我的人，都滿面羞慚地驚惶失神！
16 May they exult and they may rejoice - in you all [those who] seek you may they say continually he is great Yahweh [those who] love salvation your.
願那些尋求你的人，都因你而歡欣彭舞，願戀慕你的人，都常說：大哉上主！
17 And I - [am] poor and needy [the] Lord may he think to me [are] help my and deliverer my you O God my may not you delay.
我既然卑微貧苦，我主卻對我眷顧；你是我的助佑，我的救援，我的天主，求你不要遲延。
