Psalms 40
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. I waited for the Lord patiently, and he turned to me—he heard my cry for help.
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
2 He pulled me out of the pit of destruction, out from the mud and the slime. He set me on a rock, and gave me a safe place to stand.
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
3 He gave me a new song to sing, a song of praise to our God. Many people will see and be in awe, and they will put their trust in him.
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
4 Happy are those who trust in the Lord, who do not look for help from the arrogant or from those who worship idols.
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
5 Lord my God, you have done so many wonderful things for us, and you have so many plans for us. No one compares to you. I want to tell all that you've done—blessings too many to count.
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
6 You don't want sacrifices and offerings. Now you have helped me understand—you're not asking for burnt offerings or sin offerings.
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
7 Then I said, “Look! Here I am! I've come to do what is written about me in the scroll of the Book.
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
8 I am pleased to do your will, my God—your Law guides my mind.”
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
9 I have announced the good news of salvation to the whole congregation. I don't keep quiet, Lord, as you know.
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
10 I have not kept the truth of your goodness hidden inside me—I have spoken of your trustworthiness and your salvation. I have not concealed your unfailing love and your faithfulness from the whole congregation.
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
11 Lord, please don't keep back your mercy from me. May your trustworthy love and faithfulness always be my protection.
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
12 For I'm experiencing so many problems—I can't even count them! My sins have piled up so high I can't see over them. They're more than the number of hairs on my head! I feel like giving up!
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
13 Lord, please save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!
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
14 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.
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
15 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.
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
16 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “The Lord is great!”
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
17 As for me, I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. Help me! Save me! My God, please don't wait!
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
