Awit 40
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
40 Aking hinintay na may pagtitiis ang Panginoon; at siya'y kumiling sa akin, at dininig ang aking daing.
2 Isinampa naman niya ako mula sa isang kakilakilabot na balon, mula sa balahong malagkit; at itinuntong niya ang aking mga paa sa isang malaking bato, at itinatag ang aking mga paglakad.
3 At siya'y naglagay ng bagong awit sa aking bibig, sa makatuwid baga'y pagpuri sa aming Dios: marami ang mangakakakita at mangatatakot, at magsisitiwala sa Panginoon.
4 Mapalad ang tao na ginagawang kaniyang tiwala ang Panginoon, at hindi iginagalang ang palalo, ni ang mga naliligaw man sa pagsunod sa mga kabulaanan.
5 Marami, Oh Panginoon kong Dios, ang mga kagilagilalas na mga gawa na iyong ginawa, at ang iyong mga pagiisip sa amin: hindi malalagay na maayos sa harap mo; kung ako'y magpapahayag at sasalitain ko sila, sila'y higit kay sa mabibilang.
6 Hain at handog ay hindi mo kinaluluguran; ang aking pakinig ay iyong binuksan: handog na susunugin, at handog tungkol sa kasalanan ay hindi mo hiningi.
7 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko: Narito, dumating ako; sa balumbon ng aklat ay nakasulat tungkol sa akin:
8 Aking kinalulugurang sundin ang iyong kalooban, Oh Dios ko; Oo, ang iyong kautusan ay nasa loob ng aking puso.
9 Ako'y nagpahayag ng mabuting balita ng katuwiran sa dakilang kapisanan; narito, hindi ko pipigilin ang aking mga labi, Oh Panginoon, iyong nalalaman.
10 Hindi ko ikinubli ang iyong katuwiran sa loob ng aking puso; aking ibinalita ang iyong pagtatapat, at ang iyong pagliligtas: hindi ko inilihim ang iyong kagandahang-loob at ang iyong katotohanan sa dakilang kapisanan.
11 Huwag mong pigilin sa akin ang iyong mga malumanay na kaawaan, Oh Panginoon: panatilihin mong lagi sa akin ang iyong kagandahang-loob at ang iyong katotohanan.
12 Sapagka't kinulong ako ng walang bilang na kasamaan. Ang mga kasamaan ko ay umabot sa akin, na anopa't hindi ako makatingin; sila'y higit kay sa mga buhok ng aking ulo, at ang aking puso ay nagpalata sa akin.
13 Kalugdan mo nawa, Oh Panginoon, na iligtas ako: Ikaw ay magmadaling tulungan mo ako, Oh Panginoon.
14 Sila'y mangapahiya nawa at mangatulig na magkakasama na nagsisiusig ng aking kaluluwa upang ipahamak: Sila nawa'y mangapaurong at mangadala sa kasiraang puri na nangalulugod sa aking kapahamakan.
15 Mangapahamak nawa sila dahil sa kanilang kahihiyan na nangagsasabi sa akin, Aha, aha.
16 Mangagalak at mangatuwa nawa sa iyo ang lahat na nagsisihanap sa iyo: yaong nangagiibig ng iyong kaligtasan ay mangagsabi nawang palagi, Ang Panginoon ay dakilain.
17 Nguni't ako'y dukha at mapagkailangan; Gayon ma'y inalaala ako ng Panginoon: Ikaw ang aking saklolo at aking tagapagligtas; huwag kang magluwat, Oh Dios ko.
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.
Psalm 40
English Standard Version
My Help and My Deliverer
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
40 I (A)waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and (B)heard my cry.
2 He drew me up from (C)the pit of destruction,
out of (D)the miry bog,
and (E)set my feet upon a rock,
(F)making my steps secure.
3 He put (G)a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will (H)see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is the man who (I)makes
the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
to those who (J)go astray after a lie!
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your (K)wondrous deeds and your (L)thoughts toward us;
none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
yet they are (M)more than can be told.
6 (N)In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,
but you have given me an open (O)ear.[a]
Burnt offering and sin offering
you have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come;
in the scroll of the book it is written (P)of me:
8 (Q)I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is (R)within my heart.”
9 I have told the glad news of deliverance[b]
in (S)the great congregation;
behold, I have not (T)restrained my lips,
(U)as you know, O Lord.
10 I have not hidden your deliverance 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.
11 As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain
your mercy from me;
your (V)steadfast love and your faithfulness will
ever preserve me!
12 For evils have (W)encompassed me
beyond number;
my (X)iniquities have overtaken me,
and I cannot (Y)see;
they are (Z)more than the hairs of my head;
my heart (AA)fails me.
13 (AB)Be pleased, O Lord, to (AC)deliver me!
O Lord, (AD)make haste to help me!
14 (AE)Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether
who seek to snatch away my life;
let those be (AF)turned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
15 Let those be appalled because of their shame
who (AG)say to me, “Aha, Aha!”
16 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
(AH)say continually, “Great is the Lord!”
17 As for me, I am (AI)poor and needy,
but (AJ)the Lord takes thought for me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God!
