诗篇 40
1 大卫的诗，交与伶长。 我曾耐性等候耶和华； 他垂听我的呼求。
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] I waited patiently for Jehovah, and he turned to me, and heard my cry.
2 他从祸坑里， 从淤泥中，把我拉上来， 使我的脚立在磐石上， 使我脚步稳当。
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 他使我口唱新歌， 就是赞美我们 神的话。 许多人必看见而惧怕， 并要倚靠耶和华。
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 Jehovah.
4 那倚靠耶和华、 不理会狂傲和偏向虚假之辈的， 这人便为有福！
Blessed is the man who makes Jehovah his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 耶和华—我的 神啊，你所行的奇事， 并你向我们所怀的意念甚多，不能向你陈明； 若要陈明，其事不可胜数。
Many, Jehovah, 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 祭物和礼物，你不喜悦； 你已经开通我的耳朵。 燔祭和赎罪祭非你所要。
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 那时我说：看哪，我来了！ 我的事在经卷上已经记载了。
Then I said, "Look, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book;
8 我的 神啊，我乐意照你的旨意行； 你的律法在我心里。
to do your will, O God, I desired. And your Law is within my heart."
9 我在大会中宣传公义的佳音； 我必不止住我的嘴唇。 耶和华啊，这是你所知道的。
I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Look, I will not seal my lips, Jehovah, you know.
10 我未曾把你的公义藏在心里； 我已陈明你的信实和你的救恩； 我在大会中未曾隐瞒你的慈爱和诚实。
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 耶和华啊，求你不要向我止住你的慈悲！ 愿你的慈爱和诚实常常保佑我！
Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, Jehovah. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12 因有无数的祸患围困我， 我的罪孽追上了我，使我不能昂首； 这罪孽比我的头发还多， 我就心寒胆战。
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 耶和华啊，求你开恩搭救我！ 耶和华啊，求你速速帮助我！
Be pleased, Jehovah, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Jehovah.
14 愿那些寻找我、要灭我命的，一同抱愧蒙羞！ 愿那些喜悦我受害的，退后受辱！
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 愿那些对我说阿哈、阿哈的， 因羞愧而败亡！
Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."
16 愿一切寻求你的，因你高兴欢喜！ 愿那些喜爱你救恩的，常说：当尊耶和华为大！
Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let Jehovah be exalted."
17 但我是困苦穷乏的，主仍顾念我； 你是帮助我的，搭救我的。 神啊，求你不要耽延！
But I am poor and needy. May Jehovah think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.
