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

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and 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 brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] 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 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 hath 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] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not 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, O LORD, my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] toward us, they cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: [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 thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.

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 said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of 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] 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 preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained 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 hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness 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

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness 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 encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth 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, 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 confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

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 for a reward of their shame that say to 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 I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the LORD thinketh upon me: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my God.
