蒙主救拔脱离苦难

40 大卫的诗,交于伶长。

我曾耐性等候耶和华,他垂听我的呼求。
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。
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。
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!
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。
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。
那时我说:“看哪,我来了,我的事在经卷上已经记载了。
我的神啊,我乐意照你的旨意行,你的律法在我心里。”
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 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 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 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 耶和华啊,求你开恩搭救我!耶和华啊,求你速速帮助我!
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 愿那些对我说“啊哈!啊哈!”的,因羞愧而败亡。
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 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!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

You do not really want sacrifices and offerings.
    I understand that!
You do not ask for burnt offerings
    or sin offerings.
Then I said, ‘Here I am, my God!
The message that is written in the book
    tells me what I must do.[b]
I want to do what pleases you.
    Your law is always in my thoughts.’
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!

  1. 40:1 Psalm 40 is a song that says ‘thank you’ to God. But David still has problems. So he will always need God's help.
  2. 40:7 In the New Testament Jesus uses these words about himself. See Hebrews 10:7.

(A)Al director musical. Salmo de David.

40 Puse en el Señor toda mi esperanza;
    él se inclinó hacia mí y escuchó mi clamor.
Me sacó de la fosa de la muerte,
    del lodo y del pantano;
puso mis pies sobre una roca,
    y me plantó en terreno firme.
Puso en mis labios un cántico nuevo,
    un himno de alabanza a nuestro Dios.
Al ver esto, muchos tuvieron miedo
    y pusieron su confianza en el Señor.

Dichoso el que pone su confianza en el Señor
    y no recurre a los idólatras
    ni a los que adoran dioses falsos.
Muchas son, Señor mi Dios,
    las maravillas que tú has hecho.
No es posible enumerar
    tus bondades en favor nuestro.
Si quisiera anunciarlas y proclamarlas,
    serían más de lo que puedo contar.

A ti no te complacen sacrificios ni ofrendas,
    pero has abierto mis oídos para oírte;
tú no has pedido holocaustos
    ni sacrificios por el pecado.
Por eso dije: «Aquí me tienes
    —como el libro dice de mí—.
Me agrada, Dios mío, hacer tu voluntad;
    tu ley la llevo dentro de mí».

En medio de la gran asamblea
    he dado a conocer tu justicia.
Tú bien sabes, Señor,
    que no he sellado mis labios.
10 No escondo tu justicia en mi corazón,
    sino que proclamo tu fidelidad y tu salvación.
No oculto en la gran asamblea
    tu gran amor y tu verdad.
11 No me niegues, Señor, tu misericordia;
    que siempre me protejan tu amor y tu verdad.
12 Muchos males me han rodeado;
    tantos son que no puedo contarlos.
Me han alcanzado mis iniquidades,
    y ya ni puedo ver.
Son más que los cabellos de mi cabeza,
    y mi corazón desfallece.

13 Por favor, Señor, ¡ven a librarme!
    ¡Ven pronto, Señor, en mi auxilio!
14 Sean confundidos y avergonzados
    todos los que tratan de matarme;
huyan derrotados
    todos los que procuran mi mal;
15 que la vergüenza de su derrota
    humille a los que se burlan de mí.
16 Pero que todos los que te buscan
    se alegren en ti y se regocijen;
que los que aman tu salvación digan siempre:
    «¡Cuán grande es el Señor

17 Y a mí, pobre y necesitado,
    quiera el Señor tomarme en cuenta.

Tú eres mi socorro y mi libertador;
    ¡Dios mío, no tardes!

Psalm 40[a](A)

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

I waited patiently(B) for the Lord;
    he turned to me and heard my cry.(C)
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,(D)
    out of the mud(E) and mire;(F)
he set my feet(G) on a rock(H)
    and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song(I) in my mouth,
    a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord(J)
    and put their trust(K) in him.

Blessed is the one(L)
    who trusts in the Lord,(M)
who does not look to the proud,(N)
    to those who turn aside to false gods.[b](O)
Many, Lord my God,
    are the wonders(P) you have done,
    the things you planned for us.
None can compare(Q) with you;
    were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
    they would be too many(R) to declare.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—(S)
    but my ears you have opened[c](T)
    burnt offerings(U) and sin offerings[d] you did not require.
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
    it is written about me in the scroll.[e](V)
I desire to do your will,(W) my God;(X)
    your law is within my heart.”(Y)

I proclaim your saving acts(Z) in the great assembly;(AA)
    I do not seal my lips, Lord,
    as you know.(AB)
10 I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
    I speak of your faithfulness(AC) and your saving help.
I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness
    from the great assembly.(AD)

11 Do not withhold your mercy(AE) from me, Lord;
    may your love(AF) and faithfulness(AG) always protect(AH) me.
12 For troubles(AI) without number surround me;
    my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.(AJ)
They are more than the hairs of my head,(AK)
    and my heart fails(AL) within me.
13 Be pleased to save me, Lord;
    come quickly, Lord, to help me.(AM)

14 May all who want to take my life(AN)
    be put to shame and confusion;(AO)
may all who desire my ruin(AP)
    be turned back in disgrace.
15 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”(AQ)
    be appalled at their own shame.
16 But may all who seek you(AR)
    rejoice and be glad(AS) in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
    “The Lord is great!”(AT)

17 But as for me, I am poor and needy;(AU)
    may the Lord think(AV) of me.
You are my help(AW) and my deliverer;(AX)
    you are my God, do not delay.(AY)

40 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

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.

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.

Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

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.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

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.
