Psalms 40
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. I waited patiently for Yahweh; he listened to 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 He brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and he set my feet on a rock and made my steps secure.
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 put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God. Many will see it and honor him and will trust in Yahweh.
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 Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust and does not honor the proud or those who turn away from him to 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, Yahweh my God, are the wonderful deeds that you have done, and your thoughts which are about us cannot be numbered; if I declared and spoke of them, they would be more than could 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 You have no delight in sacrifice or offering, but you have opened my ears; you have not required burnt offerings or sin offerings.
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, “See, I have come; it is written about me in the scroll of the document.
那时我说：看哪，我来了！ 我的事在经卷上已经记载了。
8 I delight to do your will, my God; your laws are in 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 have proclaimed good news of your righteousness in the great assembly; Yahweh, you know that my lips have not kept back from doing this.
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 I have not concealed your righteousness in my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your covenant faithfulness or your trustworthiness from 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 not keep back your acts of mercy from me, Yahweh; let your covenant faithfulness and your trustworthiness always preserve 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 Troubles that cannot be numbered surround me; my iniquities have caught up with me so that I am no longer able to see anything; they are more than the hairs on my head, and my heart has failed 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, Yahweh, to rescue me; hurry to help me, Yahweh.
耶和华啊，求你开恩搭救我！ 耶和华啊，求你速速帮助我！
14 Let them be ashamed and completely disappointed who pursue my life to take it away. Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor, those who delight in hurting 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 Let them be shocked because of their shame, those who say to 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 who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let everyone who loves your salvation say continually, “May Yahweh be praised.”
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 I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks about me. You are my help and you come to my rescue; do not delay, my God.
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！
