Psalms 40

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.

1 我曾耐性等候耶和华； 他垂听我的呼求。

2 He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

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。

3 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.

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。

4 Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

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！

5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

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。

6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

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。

7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll:

7 那时我说：看哪，我来了！ 我的事在经卷上已经记载了。

8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

8 我的 神啊，我乐意照你的旨意行； 你的律法在我心里。

9 I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

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。

10 I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

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。

11 O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

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！

12 For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within 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。

13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.

13 耶和华啊，求你开恩搭救我！ 耶和华啊，求你速速帮助我！

14 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

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！

15 May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.

15 愿那些对我说阿哈、阿哈的， 因羞愧而败亡！

16 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”

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！

17 But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

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！
