诗篇 40
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
蒙主救拔脱离苦难
40 大卫的诗，交于伶长。
1 我曾耐性等候耶和华，他垂听我的呼求。
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 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 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 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 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 那时我说：“看哪，我来了，我的事在经卷上已经记载了。
8 我的神啊，我乐意照你的旨意行，你的律法在我心里。”
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 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！
Psalm 40

Psalm 40
I Desire to Do Your Will
(Psalm 40:13-17 parallels Psalm 70)
Heading
For the choir director. By David. A psalm.
Messiah’s Prayer of Thanks
1 I waited and waited for the Lord.
Then he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 Then he pulled me up from the deadly quicksand,
from the mud and muck.
He made my feet stand on a rock to keep my steps from slipping.
3 Then he put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear.
They will trust in the Lord.
4 How blessed is everyone who trusts in the Lord,
who does not look to the proud
or to those who turn aside to falsehood.
5 Many are the wonders you have done, O Lord my God.
No one can explain to you all your thoughts for us.[a]
If I try to speak and tell about them,
they are too many to count.
Messiah’s Willing Sacrifice
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire.
Ears you have opened for me.[b]
You did not ask for burnt offerings and sin offerings.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come.
The book written on a scroll tells about me.
8 My God, I take pleasure in doing your will.
Your law[c] is in my heart.”
Messiah’s Preaching of Good News
9 I preach righteousness in the great assembly.
Indeed, I do not hold back my lips, O Lord, as you know.
10 I do not conceal your righteousness deep in my heart.
I speak of your faithfulness and salvation.
I do not hide your mercy and your truth from the great assembly.
Messiah’s Prayer in Distress
11 Lord, you do not hold back your compassion from me.
Let your mercy and your truth always protect me,
12 although troubles without number surround me.
Punishments for my guilt have smothered me, so I cannot see.
They are more than the hairs of my head, so my courage deserts me.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to save me.
Lord, hurry to help me.
14 Let all who seek to end my life be frustrated and completely confused.[d]
Let everyone who desires my ruin be turned back and disgraced.
15 Let those who say to me, “Aha! We got you!” be dismayed,
because they have been put to shame.
16 But let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let those who love your salvation always say,
“The Lord is great!”
17 Yet I am poor and needy.
May the Lord think about me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
O my God, do not delay.
