诗篇 40
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
等候 神的必蒙憐愛(A)篇）
大衛的詩，交給詩班長。
40 我曾切切等候耶和華；
他轉向我，聽了我的呼求。
2 他把我從荒蕪的坑裡，
從泥沼中拉上來；
他使我的腳站在磐石上，
又使我的腳步穩定。
3 他使我口唱新歌，
讚美我們的 神；
許多人看見了，就必懼怕，
並且要倚靠耶和華。
4 那倚靠耶和華，
不轉向高傲和偏向虛謊的人的，
這人是有福的。
5 耶和華我的 神啊！
你所行的奇事，並你向我們所懷的意念很多，
沒有人可以和你相比；
如果我要述說陳明，
也多到不能勝數。
6 祭品和禮物不是你喜悅的。
你開通了我的耳朵；
燔祭和贖罪祭，不是你要求的。
7 那時我說：“看哪！我來了，
經卷上已經記載我的事；
8 我的 神啊！我樂意遵行你的旨意；
你的律法常在我的心裡。”
9 我要在大會中傳揚公義的福音；
我必不禁止我的嘴唇；
耶和華啊！這是你知道的。
10 我沒有把你的公義隱藏在心裡；
我已經述說了你的信實和救恩；
在大會中，我沒有隱瞞你的慈愛和誠實。
11 耶和華啊！求你的憐憫不要向我止息；
願你的慈愛和誠實常常保護我。
12 因有無數的禍患圍繞著我；
我的罪孽追上了我，使我不能看見；
它們比我的頭髮還多，
以致我心驚膽戰。
13 耶和華啊！求你開恩搭救我；
耶和華啊！求你快來幫助我。
14 願那些尋找我，要毀滅我命的，
一同抱愧蒙羞；
願那些喜悅我遭害的，
退後受辱。
15 願那些對我說：“啊哈！啊哈！”的，
都因羞愧而驚惶。
16 願所有尋求你的，
都因你歡喜快樂；
願那些喜愛你救恩的，
常說：“要尊耶和華為大。”
17 至於我，我是困苦貧窮的；
主仍顧念我。
你是我的幫助，我的拯救；
我的 神啊！求你不要耽延。
Psalm 40

Psalm 40
Thanksgiving for Deliverance and Prayer for Help
To the leader. Of David. A Psalm.
1 I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.(A)
2 He drew me up from the desolate pit,[a]
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.(B)
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.(C)
4 Happy are those who make
the Lord their trust,
who do not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after false gods.(D)
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
none can compare with you.
Were I to proclaim and tell of them,
they would be more than can be counted.(E)
6 Sacrifice and offering you do not desire,
but you have given me an open ear.[b]
Burnt offering and sin offering
you have not required.(F)
7 Then I said, “Here I am;
in the scroll of the book it is written of me.[c]
8 I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart.”(G)
9 I have told the glad news of deliverance
in the great congregation;
see, I have not restrained my lips,
as you know, O Lord.(H)
10 I have not hidden your saving help 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.(I)
11 Do not, O Lord, withhold
your mercy from me;
let your steadfast love and your faithfulness
keep me safe forever.(J)
12 For evils have encompassed me
without number;
my iniquities have overtaken me
until I cannot see;
they are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails me.(K)
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
O Lord, make haste to help me.(L)
14 Let all those be put to shame and confusion
who seek to snatch away my life;
let those be turned back and brought to dishonor
who desire my hurt.(M)
15 Let those be appalled because of their shame
who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”(N)
