Psalm 40
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 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.(A)
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[a](A)
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 I waited patiently(B) for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.(C)
2 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.
3 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.
4 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)
5 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.
6 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.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
it is written about me in the scroll.[e](V)
8 I desire to do your will,(W) my God;(X)
your law is within my heart.”(Y)
9 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)

Psalm 40
1 Dem Vorsänger. Ein Psalm Davids.
2 Beharrlich habe ich auf den Herrn geharrt,
da neigte er sich zu mir und erhörte mein Schreien.
3 Er zog mich aus der Grube des Verderbens,
aus dem schmutzigen Schlamm,
und stellte meine Füße auf einen Fels;
er machte meine Schritte fest
4 und gab mir ein neues Lied in meinen Mund,
ein Lob für unseren Gott.
Das werden viele sehen und sich fürchten
und werden auf den Herrn vertrauen.
5 Wohl dem, der sein Vertrauen auf den Herrn setzt
und sich nicht zu den Aufgeblasenen wendet
und zu den abtrünnigen Lügnern.
6 Herr, mein Gott, [wie] zahlreich sind die Wunder, die du getan hast,
und deine Pläne, die du für uns gemacht hast;
dir ist nichts gleich!
Wollte ich sie verkündigen und davon reden —
es sind zu viele, um sie aufzuzählen.
7 Opfer und Gaben[a] hast du nicht gewollt;
Ohren aber hast du mir bereitet;[b]
Brandopfer und Sündopfer[c] hast du nicht verlangt.
8 Da sprach ich: Siehe, ich komme,
in der Buchrolle steht von mir geschrieben;
9 deinen Willen zu tun, mein Gott, begehre ich,
und dein Gesetz ist in meinem Herzen.
10 Ich habe Gerechtigkeit als frohe Botschaft verkündigt
in der großen Gemeinde[d];
siehe, ich will meine Lippen nicht verschließen,
Herr, das weißt du!
11 Deine Gerechtigkeit verbarg ich nicht in meinem Herzen,
ich redete von deiner Wahrheit und von deinem Heil;
deine Gnade und Wahrheit verschwieg ich nicht
vor der großen Gemeinde.
12 Du, Herr, wollest dein Herz nicht vor mir verschließen;
lass deine Gnade und deine Wahrheit mich allezeit behüten!
13 Denn Übel ohne Zahl haben mich umringt,
meine Verschuldungen haben mich ergriffen; ich kann sie nicht überschauen;
sie sind zahlreicher als die Haare meines Hauptes,
und mein Mut hat mich verlassen.
14 Herr, lass es dir gefallen, mich zu retten;
Herr, eile mir zu Hilfe!
15 Es sollen sich alle schämen und schamrot werden,
die mir nach dem Leben trachten, um es wegzuraffen;
es sollen zurückweichen und zuschanden werden,
die mein Unglück suchen!
16 Erstarren sollen wegen ihrer eigenen Schmach,
die zu mir sagen: »Haha, haha«!
17 Es sollen fröhlich sein und sich freuen in dir
alle, die dich suchen;
die dein Heil lieben,
sollen allezeit sagen:
»Der Herr ist groß!«
18 Bin ich auch elend und arm —
für mich sorgt der Herr.
Du bist meine Hilfe und mein Retter;
mein Gott, säume nicht!

Ao regente do coral: salmo de Davi.
40 Esperei com paciência pelo Senhor;
ele se voltou para mim e ouviu meu clamor.
2 Tirou-me de um poço de desespero,
de um atoleiro de lama.
Pôs meus pés sobre uma rocha
e firmou meus passos.
3 Deu-me um novo cântico para entoar,
um hino de louvor a nosso Deus.
Muitos verão o que ele fez,
temerão e confiarão no Senhor.
4 Como é feliz o que confia no Senhor,
que não depende dos arrogantes,
nem dos que se desviam para a mentira!
5 Senhor, meu Deus, tu nos fizeste muitas maravilhas,
e teus planos para nós são tantos que não se pode contá-los;
não há ninguém igual a ti.
Se eu tentasse relatar todos os teus feitos,
jamais chegaria ao fim.
6 Não tens prazer em ofertas nem em sacrifícios;
agora que me fizeste ouvir, compreendo:[a]
tu não exiges holocaustos nem ofertas pelo pecado.
7 Então eu disse: “Aqui estou,
conforme está escrito a meu respeito no livro.
8 Tenho prazer em fazer tua vontade, meu Deus,
pois a tua lei está em meu coração”.
9 Anunciei a tua justiça a toda a comunidade;
não tive medo de falar,
como bem sabes, ó Senhor.
10 Não escondi em meu coração a tua justiça;
falei de tua fidelidade e de tua salvação.
Proclamei a toda a comunidade
o teu amor e a tua verdade.
11 Senhor, não retenhas de mim a tua compaixão;
que o teu amor e a tua verdade sempre me protejam.
12 Pois as dificuldades me cercam;
são tantas que não se pode contá-las.
Meus pecados se acumularam de tal modo
que não consigo enxergar saída.
São mais numerosos que os cabelos de minha cabeça;
por isso, perdi todo o ânimo.
13 Por favor, Senhor, livra-me!
Vem depressa, Senhor, e ajuda-me!
14 Sejam envergonhados e humilhados
os que procuram me matar.
Voltem atrás em desonra
os que se alegram com a minha desgraça.
15 Recuem horrorizados com a própria vergonha,
pois disseram: “Ah! Agora o pegamos!”.
16 Alegrem-se e exultem, porém,
todos que te buscam.
Todos que amam tua salvação,
digam sempre: “Grande é o Senhor!”.
17 Quanto a mim, pobre e aflito,
que o Senhor me mantenha em seus pensamentos.
Tu és meu auxílio e minha salvação;
ó meu Deus, não te demores!
