< 詩篇 40 >

1 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
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] I waited patiently for the LORD, and he turned 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 also brought me up out of a pit of tumult, out of the miry clay; and he set my feet on a rock, making my steps secure.
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 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
And 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.
4 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
Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
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, 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 numbered.
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 a body you prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sin offering you did not require.
7 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
Then I said, "Look, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book;
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
to do your will, O God, I desired. And 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 have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Look, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you 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
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.
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
Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your 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髪にもまさり わが心きえうするばかりなればなり
For innumerable evils have 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.
13 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
Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.
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 put to shame 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.
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 desolate by reason of their shame that tell 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 who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let the LORD be exalted."
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 about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.
