Псалми 40
Serbian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Хоровођи. Псалам Давидов.
1 Стрпљиво сам ГОСПОДА чекао,
и он ми се окрену
и чу мој вапај.
2 Извуче ме из јаме пропасти,
из муља и блата.
Ноге ми постави на хридину,
кораке ми учврсти.
3 У уста ми стави нову песму,
хвалоспев Богу нашем.
Многи ће то видети и уплашити се
и у ГОСПОДА се уздати.
4 Благо човеку коме је ГОСПОД узданица,
који се не окреће охолима,
онима који за лажима иду.
5 Многа си чудесна дела учинио, ГОСПОДЕ, Боже мој.
Чудесни су твоји науми – нема ти равна.
Да их објављујем и говорим о њима,
толико их је да се не могу пребројати.
6 Нису ти биле миле жртве и приноси,
него си ми уши отворио.
Паљенице и жртве за очишћење
ниси тражио.
7 Тада рекох:
»Ево долазим – о мени пише у књизи
8 – милина ми је да вршим твоју вољу, Боже мој.
Закон твој дубоко ми је у срцу.«
9 Радосну вест о праведности
објавих на великом скупу
– нисам своја уста затворио,
и ти то знаш, ГОСПОДЕ;
10 нисам твоју праведност дубоко у срцу сакрио.
Говорио сам о твојој верности и спасењу,
нисам твоју љубав и истину прикрио
од великог скупа.
11 Не ускрати ми своју самилост, ГОСПОДЕ,
нека ме твоја љубав и истина стално штите.
12 Јер, сколише ме зла небројена,
моји греси ме стигоше,
па више не видим.
Више их је него власи на глави
и срце ме издаје.
13 Молим те, ГОСПОДЕ, избави ме!
ГОСПОДЕ, у помоћ ми похитај!
14 Нека постиђени и осрамоћени буду
сви који би да ми узму живот.
Нека осрамоћени узмакну
сви који ми желе зло.
15 Нека се згрозе над својом срамотом
сви који ми говоре: »Да, да.«
16 А који тебе траже
нека се у теби радују и веселе.
Нека они који твоје спасење воле
стално говоре:
»Велик је ГОСПОД!«
17 Сиромах сам и убог,
али Господ мисли на мене.
Ти си Помагач мој и Избавитељ, Боже
– не оклевај.
Psalm 40
EasyEnglish Bible
David wrote this song for the music leader.
God has helped me[a]
40 I was patient while I waited for the Lord to help me.
He turned towards me,
and he heard me when I called to him.
2 He lifted me out of the deep hole of danger.
He picked me up out of the mud.
He put my feet on a rock.
Then I could walk and not slip.
3 He gave me a new song to sing.
It was a song to praise our God.
Many people will see what God has done to help me.
Then they will respect and obey him.
Yes, they will trust in the Lord.
4 If anyone trusts in the Lord
he blesses them!
They do not expect proud people to help them.
They do not join with those people who worship false gods.
5 Lord, my God, you have done many great things.
You have done so many things for us
that we cannot count them!
There is nobody else like you!
I want to talk about the things that you have done,
but there are too many things to speak about!
6 You do not really want sacrifices and offerings.
I understand that!
You do not ask for burnt offerings
or sin offerings.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am, my God!
The message that is written in the book
tells me what I must do.[b]
8 I want to do what pleases you.
Your law is always in my thoughts.’
9 In the great meeting of your people,
I have told them about your justice.
I cannot keep quiet!
You know that this is true, Lord.
10 I have not hidden the good news about your justice.
I have told everyone that they can trust you,
and that you have the power to save.
I tell the great meeting of your people about your faithful love.
11 You, Lord, will continue to be kind to me.
Please continue to keep me safe,
because of your faithful love.
12 There are many dangerous troubles all around me.
They are too many to count!
My sins are too strong for me.
They are more than all the hairs on my head!
So I am weak and I cannot see clearly.
13 Lord, please save me!
Lord, come quickly to help me!
14 Chase away the people who want to kill me!
Cause them to become ashamed and confused.
Chase away the people who want to hurt me,
so that they run away in shame.
15 When people laugh at me,
make them sorry for what they have done.
16 Lord, may those who come to you be very happy,
because you have saved them.
They should never stop saying,
‘Praise the Lord!’
17 But I am poor and weak, my Lord.
Please continue to think about me.
You are the one who helps me and who saves me.
My God, come quickly to help me!

Psalm 40
King James Version
40 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
