Psalms 40
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me, and heard my cry.
伶長にうたはしめたるダビデのうた 我たへしのびてヱホバを俟望みたり ヱホバ我にむかひてわが號呼をききたまへり
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.
また我をほろびの阱より泥のなかよりとりいだしてわが足を磐のうへにおきわが歩をかたくしたまへり
3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
ヱホバはあたらしき歌をわが口にいれたまへり此はわれらの神にささぐる讃美なり 多くの人はこれを見ておそれ かつヱホバによりたのまん
4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.
ヱホバをおのが頼となし高るものによらず虚偽にかたぶく者によらざる人はさいはひなり
5 Many, LORD, 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 counted.
わが神ヱホバよなんぢの作たまへる奇しき迹と われらにむかふ念とは甚おほくして汝のみまへにつらねいふことあたはず 我これをいひのべんとすれどその數かぞふることあたはず
6 Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
なんぢ犠牲と祭物とをよろこびたまはず汝わが耳をひらきたたまへり なんぢ燔祭と罪祭とをもとめたまはず
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
そのとき我いへらく 観よわれきたらんわがことを書の巻にしるしたり
8 I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your Torah is within my heart.”
わが神よわれは聖意にしたがふことを樂む なんぢの法はわが心のうちにありと
9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.
われ大なる會にて義をつげしめせり 視よわれ口唇をとぢず ヱホバよなんぢ之をしりたまふ
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.
われなんぢの義をわが心のうちにひめおかず なんぢの眞理となんぢの拯救とをのべつたへたり 我なんぢの仁慈となんぢの眞理とをおほいなる會にかくさざりき
11 Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
ヱホバよなんぢ憐憫をわれにをしみたまふなかれ 仁慈と眞理とをもて恒にわれをまもりたまへ
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.
そはかぞへがたき禍害われをかこみ わが不義われに追及てあふぎみること能はぬまでになりぬ その多きことわが首の髪にもまさり わが心きえうするばかりなればなり
13 Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.
ヱホバよ願くはわれをすくひたまヘ ヱホバよ急ぎきたりて我をたすけたまへ
14 Let them be disappointed 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.
願くはわが霊魂をたづねほろぼさんとするものの皆はぢあわてんことを わが害はるるをよろこぶもののみな後にしりぞきて恥をおはんことを
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”
われにむかひてああ視よや視よやといふ者おのが恥によりておどろきおそれんことを
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let the LORD be exalted!”
願くはなんぢを尋求むるものの皆なんぢによりて樂みよろこばんことを なんぢの救をしたふものの恒にヱホバは大なるかなととなへんことを
17 But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.
われはくるしみ且ともし 主われをねんごろに念ひたまふ なんぢはわが助なり われをすくひたまふ者なり ああわが神よねがはくはためらひたまふなかれ
