1To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. (诗27:14; 诗37:7; 诗39:12)2He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. (诗27:5; 诗37:23; 诗69:2; 诗69:14; 耶38:6)3He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. (申13:11; 诗33:3; 诗52:6; 诗64:8)4Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! (利19:4; 申29:18; 伯23:11; 诗2:12; 诗101:3; 诗125:5; 何3:1)5You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. (出15:11; 诗9:1; 诗71:15; 诗92:5; 诗139:17; 诗139:18; 赛55:8)6In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear.[1] Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required. (撒上15:22; 伯33:16; 诗51:16; 箴21:3; 來10:5)7Then I said, “Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me: (路24:44)8I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.” (诗37:31; 诗119:16; 诗119:24; 诗119:35; 诗119:92; 约4:34)9I have told the glad news of deliverance[2] in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O Lord. (书22:22; 诗22:25; 诗119:13; 徒20:20; 徒20:27)10I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.11As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me! (诗36:5; 诗57:3; 诗61:7; 箴20:28)12For evils have encompassed me beyond number; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me. (诗38:4; 诗38:10; 诗69:4; 诗73:26; 诗116:3)13Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me! (诗22:19; 诗22:20; 诗38:22; 诗70:1; 诗71:12; 诗141:1)14Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether who seek to snatch away my life; let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt! (诗6:10; 诗35:4; 诗35:26; 诗71:13)15Let those be appalled because of their shame who say to me, “Aha, Aha!” (诗35:21; 诗35:25; 诗70:3)16But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the Lord!” (诗35:27)17As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God! (诗86:1; 诗109:22; 彼前5:7)
