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.

²Isinampa 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.

³At 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.

⁴Mapalad ang tao na ginagawang kaniyang tiwala ang Panginoon, at hindi iginagalang ang palalo, ni ang mga naliligaw man sa pagsunod sa mga kabulaanan.

⁵Marami, 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.

⁶Hain at handog ay hindi mo kinaluluguran; ang aking pakinig ay iyong binuksan: handog na susunugin, at handog tungkol sa kasalanan ay hindi mo hiningi.

⁷Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko: Narito, dumating ako; sa balumbon ng aklat ay nakasulat tungkol sa akin:

⁸Aking kinalulugurang sundin ang iyong kalooban, Oh Dios ko; Oo, ang iyong kautusan ay nasa loob ng aking puso.

⁹Ako'y nagpahayag ng mabuting balita ng katuwiran sa dakilang kapisanan; narito, hindi ko pipigilin ang aking mga labi, Oh Panginoon, iyong nalalaman.

¹⁰Hindi 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.

¹¹Huwag 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.

¹²Sapagka'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.

¹³Kalugdan mo nawa, Oh Panginoon, na iligtas ako: Ikaw ay magmadaling tulungan mo ako, Oh Panginoon.

¹⁴Sila'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.

¹⁵Mangapahamak nawa sila dahil sa kanilang kahihiyan na nangagsasabi sa akin, Aha, aha.

¹⁶Mangagalak at mangatuwa nawa sa iyo ang lahat na nagsisihanap sa iyo: yaong nangagiibig ng iyong kaligtasan ay mangagsabi nawang palagi, Ang Panginoon ay dakilain.

¹⁷Nguni'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

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.
²He 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.
³He 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.

⁴Blessed 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!
⁵You 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.
⁷Then 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.”

⁹I 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.
¹⁰I 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.

¹¹As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain
    your mercy from me;
your ^(V)steadfast love and your faithfulness will
    ever preserve me!
¹²For 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!
¹⁵Let those be appalled because of their shame
    who ^(AG)say to me, “Aha, Aha!”

¹⁶But may all who seek you
    rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
    ^(AH)say continually, “Great is the Lord!”
¹⁷As 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!

New King James Version

Faith Persevering in Trial^(A)

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

40 I ^(B)waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
²He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of ^(C)the miry clay,
And ^(D)set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
³^(E)He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord.

⁴^(F)Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
⁵^(G)Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
^(H)And Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.

⁶^(I)Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
⁷Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
⁸^(J)I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is ^(K)within my heart.”

⁹^(L)I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness
In the great assembly;
Indeed, ^(M)I do not restrain my lips,
O Lord, You Yourself know.
¹⁰^(N)I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth
From the great assembly.

¹¹Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;
^(O)Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
¹²For innumerable evils have surrounded me;
^(P)My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
They are more than the hairs of my head;
Therefore my heart fails me.

¹³^(Q)Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
O Lord, make haste to help me!
¹⁴^(R)Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
Who seek to destroy my ^[a]life;
Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor
Who wish me evil.
¹⁵Let them be ^(S)confounded because of their shame,
Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”

¹⁶^(T)Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation ^(U)say continually,
“The Lord be magnified!”
¹⁷^(V)But I am poor and needy;
^(W)Yet the Lord thinks upon me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.

Psalm 40:14 Lit. soul

Psalm 40

Contemporary English Version

(A psalm by David for the music leader.)

A Prayer for Help

¹I patiently waited, Lord,
    for you to hear my prayer.
You listened ²and pulled me
from a lonely pit
    full of mud and mire.
You let me stand on a rock
    with my feet firm,
³and you gave me a new song,
    a song of praise to you.
Many will see this,
and they will honor and trust
    you, the Lord God.

⁴You bless all of those
    who trust you, Lord,
and refuse to worship idols
    or follow false gods.
⁵You, Lord God, have done
    many wonderful things,
and you have planned
    marvelous things for us.
No one is like you!
I would never be able to tell
    all you have done.

⁶^(A) Sacrifices and offerings
    are not what please you;
gifts and payment for sin
    are not what you demand.
But you made me willing
    to listen and obey.
⁷And so, I said, “I am here
    to do what is written
about me in the book,
    where it says,
⁸‘I enjoy pleasing you.
    Your Law is in my heart.’ ”

⁹When your people worshiped,
you know I told them,
    “Our Lord always helps!”
¹⁰When all your people met,
    I did not keep silent.
I said, “Our Lord is kind.
He is faithful and caring,
    and he saves us.”

¹¹You, Lord, never fail
to have pity on me;
your love and faithfulness
always keep me secure.

¹²I have more troubles
    than I can count.
My sins are all around me,
    and I can't find my way.
My sins outnumber
the hairs on my head,
    and I feel weak.
¹³Please show that you care
and come to my rescue.
    Hurry and help me!

¹⁴Disgrace and confuse
    all who want me dead;
turn away and disgrace
    all who want to hurt me.
¹⁵Embarrass and shame
everyone who says,
    “Just look at you now!”

¹⁶Our Lord, let your worshipers
rejoice and be glad.
They love you for saving them,
so let them always say,
“The Lord is wonderful!”

¹⁷I am poor and needy,
but, Lord God,
you care about me,
and you come to my rescue.
Please hurry and help.

Psalm 40

New International Version

Psalm 40^[a]^(A)

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

¹I waited patiently^(B) for the Lord;
    he turned to me and heard my cry.^(C)
²He 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.
³He 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.

⁴Blessed 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)
⁵Many, 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.

⁶Sacrifice 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.
⁷Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
    it is written about me in the scroll.^[e]^(V)
⁸I desire to do your will,^(W) my God;^(X)
    your law is within my heart.”^(Y)

⁹I proclaim your saving acts^(Z) in the great assembly;^(AA)
    I do not seal my lips, Lord,
    as you know.^(AB)
¹⁰I 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)

¹¹Do not withhold your mercy^(AE) from me, Lord;
    may your love^(AF) and faithfulness^(AG) always protect^(AH) me.
¹²For 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.
¹³Be pleased to save me, Lord;
    come quickly, Lord, to help me.^(AM)

¹⁴May 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.
¹⁵May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”^(AQ)
    be appalled at their own shame.
¹⁶But 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)

¹⁷But 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)
