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
Good News Translation
A Song of Praise[a]
40 I waited patiently for the Lord's help;
then he listened to me and heard my cry.
2 He pulled me out of a dangerous pit,
out of the deadly quicksand.
He set me safely on a rock
and made me secure.
3 He taught me to sing a new song,
a song of praise to our God.
Many who see this will take warning
and will put their trust in the Lord.
4 Happy are those who trust the Lord,
who do not turn to idols
or join those who worship false gods.
5 You have done many things for us, O Lord our God;
there is no one like you!
You have made many wonderful plans for us.
I could never speak of them all—
their number is so great!
6 (A)You do not want sacrifices and offerings;
you do not ask for animals burned whole on the altar
or for sacrifices to take away sins.
Instead, you have given me ears to hear you,
7 and so I answered, “Here I am;
your instructions for me are in the book of the Law.[b]
8 How I love to do your will, my God!
I keep your teaching in my heart.”
9 In the assembly of all your people, Lord,
I told the good news that you save us.
You know that I will never stop telling it.
10 I have not kept the news of salvation to myself;
I have always spoken of your faithfulness and help.
In the assembly of all your people I have not been silent
about your loyalty and constant love.
11 Lord, I know you will never stop being merciful to me.
Your love and loyalty will always keep me safe.
A Prayer for Help(B)
12 I am surrounded by many troubles—
too many to count!
My sins have caught up with me,
and I can no longer see;
they are more than the hairs of my head,
and I have lost my courage.
13 Save me, Lord! Help me now!
14 May those who try to kill me
be completely defeated and confused.
May those who are happy because of my troubles
be turned back and disgraced.
15 May those who make fun of me
be dismayed by their defeat.
16 May all who come to you
be glad and joyful.
May all who are thankful for your salvation
always say, “How great is the Lord!”
17 I am weak and poor, O Lord,
but you have not forgotten me.
You are my savior and my God—
hurry to my aid!
