Psalm 40

English Standard Version

from Crossway
1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. (Ps 27:14; Ps 37:7; Ps 39:12)2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. (Ps 27:5; Ps 37:23; Ps 69:2; Ps 69:14; Jer 38:6)3 He 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. (De 13:11; Ps 33:3; Ps 52:6; Ps 64:8)4 Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! (Le 19:4; De 29:18; Job 23:11; Ps 2:12; Ps 101:3; Ps 125:5; Ho 3:1)5 You 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. (Ex 15:11; Ps 9:1; Ps 71:15; Ps 92:5; Ps 139:17; Ps 139:18; Isa 55:8)6 In 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. (1Sa 15:22; Job 33:16; Ps 51:16; Pr 21:3; Heb 10:5)7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me: (Lu 24:44)8 I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.” (Ps 37:31; Ps 119:16; Ps 119:24; Ps 119:35; Ps 119:92; Joh 4:34)9 I have told the glad news of deliverance[2] in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O Lord. (Jos 22:22; Ps 22:25; Ps 119:13; Ac 20:20; Ac 20:27)10 I 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.11 As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me! (Ps 36:5; Ps 57:3; Ps 61:7; Pr 20:28)12 For 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. (Ps 38:4; Ps 38:10; Ps 69:4; Ps 73:26; Ps 116:3)13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me! (Ps 22:19; Ps 22:20; Ps 38:22; Ps 70:1; Ps 71:12; Ps 141:1)14 Let 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! (Ps 6:10; Ps 35:4; Ps 35:26; Ps 71:13)15 Let those be appalled because of their shame who say to me, “Aha, Aha!” (Ps 35:21; Ps 35:25; Ps 70:3)16 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the Lord!” (Ps 35:27)17 As 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! (Ps 86:1; Ps 109:22; 1Pe 5:7)

from Biblica
1 我曾耐心等候耶和华, 祂倾听了我的呼求。2 祂把我从绝望的深渊拉出来, 救我脱离泥泞沼泽, 把我安置在磐石上, 使我步履稳健。3 祂赐给我一首新歌, 一首赞美我们上帝的诗歌。 许多人看见便敬畏、信靠耶和华。4 信靠耶和华的人有福了! 他们不随从骄傲自大、信靠假神的人。5 我的上帝耶和华啊, 你行了许多奇事, 为我们定了许多美好的计划, 谁能与你相比! 你奇妙的作为不可胜数。6 祭物和供品非你所悦, 你开通了我的耳朵, 燔祭和赎罪祭非你所要。7 于是我说: “看啊,我来了, 正如经卷上有关我的记载。8 我的上帝啊, 我乐意遵行你的旨意, 我铭记你的律法。”9 耶和华啊,你知道我在大会中宣扬你的公义, 没有闭口不言。10 我述说你的信实和拯救之恩, 没有把你的公义隐而不宣, 没有在大会中避而不谈你的慈爱和真理。11 耶和华啊, 求你不要收回你的怜悯, 愿你的慈爱和真理时刻守护我!12 我患难重重,罪恶缠身, 看不到出路。 我的罪过比我的头发还多, 我心惊胆战。13 耶和华啊,求你拯救我! 耶和华啊,求你快来帮助我!14 愿谋取我性命的人蒙羞受辱! 愿喜欢我被害的人狼狈逃窜!15 愿那些哈哈嘲笑我的人羞愧难当!16 愿所有寻求你的人因你而欢喜快乐! 愿渴望蒙你拯救的人时常说: “耶和华当受尊崇!”17 我贫穷困苦, 但主眷顾我。 我的上帝啊, 你是我的帮助、我的拯救, 求你不要迟延!
