诗篇

第 40 章

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 director of music. Of David. A psalm. I waited patiently for the LORD; 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 lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
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。
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
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 the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.
5. 耶和华我的神阿，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, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.
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 my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings 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, "Here I am, I have come--it is written about me in the scroll.
8. 我的神阿，我乐意照你的旨意行。你的律法在我心里。
I desire to do your will, O my God; 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。耶和华阿，这是你所知道的。
I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, as you know, O LORD.
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 do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation. I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.
11. 耶和华阿，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 mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect 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 troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.
13. 耶和华阿，求你开恩搭救我。耶和华阿，求你速速帮助我。
Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.
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。
May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
15. 愿那些对我说，阿哈，阿哈的，因羞愧而败亡。
May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be appalled at their own shame.
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。
But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "The LORD 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。神阿，求你不要耽延。
Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
