Psalms 40
1 I waited patiently for Yahweh [to help me], and he listened to me [DOU] when I called out to him.
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 [When I had many troubles, it was as though] I was in a deep pit. But he lifted me up out of the mud and slime of that pit; he set my feet on a [solid] rock, and enabled me to walk (safely/without falling).
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 He has given me a new song to sing, a song to praise him who is our God. Many people will find out [what he has done for me], and they will revere and trust him.
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 Yahweh is pleased with those who trust him, those who do not trust in idols or join with those who worship those false gods.
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 O Yahweh, my God, you have done many wonderful things! No one can list all the wonderful things that you have planned for us. If I tried to tell [others] about all those wonderful things, I would not be able to, because there would be too many for me to mention.
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 Various kinds of sacrifices and other offerings are not the [only] things that delight you. You have enabled me to understand that very well [IDM]. [Animals] burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings are not all that you require [for sins to be forgiven].
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 So I said [to you], “Yahweh, here I am, [to do] the things that have been written in the scroll [that contains your laws], things that you want me [to do].”
那时我说：看哪，我来了！ 我的事在经卷上已经记载了。
8 O my God, I delight to do what you desire; I [keep] your laws within my inner being.
我的 神啊，我乐意照你的旨意行； 你的律法在我心里。
9 Whenever all [your people] are gathered, I have told them about how you save us. Yahweh, you know that I have not been afraid to tell that to them.
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 And I have not kept to myself the news that you always act justly/fairly; when many of your people have gathered together [to worship you in the temple], I have told them that you are faithful to us and save us. I have (not concealed/openly told people) that you faithfully love us and act loyally toward us.
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 Yahweh, do not stop being merciful to me. Because you faithfully love [me] [PRS] and are loyal [to me], always protect 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 I have many troubles; [so many that] I cannot count them. My sins are like a flood that has covered me [PRS, MET]; [they are so many that] I cannot find my way. The sins that I have committed are more than the hairs on my head. I am very discouraged.
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 O Yahweh, please save me! Come quickly to help me!
耶和华啊，求你开恩搭救我！ 耶和华啊，求你速速帮助我！
14 Humble those who are happy about my troubles, and cause them to be disgraced and ashamed. Chase away those who are trying to get rid of me.
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 I hope/desire that those who make fun of me will be dismayed when you defeat them.
愿那些对我说阿哈、阿哈的， 因羞愧而败亡！
16 But I hope that all those who go to [worship] you will be very joyful [DOU]. I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly, “Yahweh is great!”
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 As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU]; but [I know that] Yahweh has not forgotten me. O my God, you are the one who saves and helps me, so please come quickly [and help me!]
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！
