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 Leader. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto 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 brought me up also out of the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, He established my goings.

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

And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, and fear, and shall 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

Happy is the man that hath made the LORD his trust, and hath not turned unto the arrogant, nor unto such as fall away treacherously.

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 things hast Thou done, O LORD my God, even Thy wonderful works, and Thy thoughts toward us; there is none to be compared unto Thee! If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be told.

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 meal-offering Thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast Thou opened; burnt-offering and sin-offering hast Thou not required.

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 said I: 'Lo, I am come with the roll of a book which is prescribed for me;

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 Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'

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 have preached righteousness in the great congregation, lo, I did not refrain my lips; O LORD, Thou knowest.

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 hid Thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation; I have not concealed Thy mercy and Thy truth from the great congregation.

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

Thou, O LORD, wilt not withhold Thy compassions from me; let Thy mercy and Thy truth continually preserve 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 innumerable evils have compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed 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; O LORD, make haste 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

Let them be ashamed and abashed together that seek after my soul to sweep it away; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.

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

Let them be appalled by reason of their shame that say unto me: 'Aha, aha.'

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

Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; let such as love Thy salvation say continually: '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, as for me, that am poor and needy, the Lord will account it unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O my God, tarry not.
