詩篇 40
1 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
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 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
He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.
3 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 おほくの人はこれを見ておそれ かつヱホバによりたのまん
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
4 ヱホバをおのが賴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
Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
5 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
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us— none can compare to You— if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.
6 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まへり なんぢ燔祭と罪祭とをもとめたまはず
Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.
7 そのとき我いへらく 觀よわれきたらんわがことを書の巻にしるしたり
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll:
8 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
I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”
9 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
I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.
10 われなんぢの義をわが心のうちにひめおかず なんぢの眞實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
I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.
11 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
O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.
12 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髮にもまさり わが心きえうするばかりなればなり
For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.
13 ヱホバよ願くはわれをすくひたまへ ヱホバよ急ぎきたりて我をたすけたまへ
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.
14 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
May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
15 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
May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.
16 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
May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”
17 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
But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
