Psalm 40[a](A)

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

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

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)
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.

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

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)

17 But 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)

시련 가운데서 인내하는 믿음

(다윗의 시. 성가대 지휘자를 따라 부른 노래)

40 내가 여호와의 도움을
끈기 있게 기다렸더니
그가 귀를 기울이시고
나의 부르짖음을 들으셨다.
여호와께서 나를
[a]절망의 웅덩이와 진흙탕 속에서
끌어내시고
나를 반석 위에 세우셔서
안전하게 걸어다니도록 하셨다.
그가 새 노래를
나에게 가르쳐 주셨으니
우리 하나님께 불러 드릴
찬송이라네.
많은 사람들이
이것을 보고 두려워하여
여호와를 신뢰하리라.
여호와를 의지하고
교만한 자와
거짓된 신을 좇는 자를
우러러보지 않는 사람은
복 있는 자이다.

여호와 나의 하나님이시여,
주는 우리를 위해 수많은
기적을 행하셨습니다.
주께서 우리를 위해 생각하시고
계획하신 그 놀라운 일은
아무도 헤아릴 수가 없습니다.
내가 그 모든 것을
말하려고 하지만
너무 많아 일일이 다
열거할 수가 없습니다.
주께서는 제사와 예물을
원하지 않으시며
또 불로 태워 바치는 번제나
죄를 씻는 속죄제를
요구하시지 않으시고
[b]내 귀를 열어 주셨습니다.
그때 내가 말하였습니다.
“보십시오. 내가 왔습니다.
나에 관한 것이
[c]율법책에 기록되어 있습니다.
나의 하나님이시여,
주의 뜻을 행하는 일을
내가 기쁘게 여기고
내가 항상 주의 법을
마음에 간직하고 있습니다.”

내가 많은 군중 앞에서
[d]구원의 기쁜 소식을 전하였습니다.
여호와여, 내가 입을 다물지 않고
계속 이것을 말하리라는 것은
주께서도 아십니다.
10 내가 이 구원의 소식을
내 마음에 숨기지 않았습니다.
나는 항상 주의 신실하심과
구원을 선포하였으며
주의 한결같은 사랑과 진리를
대중 앞에서 숨기지 않았습니다.
11 여호와여, 주의 자비를
내게서 거두지 마시고
주의 사랑과 진리로
나를 항상 보호하소서.
12 헤아릴 수 없는 수많은 문제들이
나를 둘러싸고 있으며
내 죄가 나를 덮치므로
내가 볼 수 없고
내 죄가 머리털보다 많으므로
내 기가 꺾였습니다.

13 여호와여,
기꺼이 나를 구하소서.
속히 와서 나를 도우소서.
14 나를 죽이려 하는 자들이
수치를 당하고
당황하게 하시며
내가 패망하기를
바라는 자들이
망신을 당하고 물러가게 하소서.
15 나를 보고 야유하는 자들이
자기들의 수치에 놀라게 하소서.
16 그러나 주를 찾는 자들은
모두 주 안에서
기뻐하고 즐거워하게 하시며
주의 구원을
사모하는 자들은 항상
“여호와는 위대하시다!”
하고 말하게 하소서.

17 [e]내가 고난을 당하고 가난하지만
주께서 항상 나를 생각하시니
주는 나의 도움이시요
나를 건지는 자이십니다.
나의 하나님이시여,
지체하지 마소서.

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.
He 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.
(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.

(F)Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
(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.

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

(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.

11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;
(O)Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
12 For 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.
15 Let 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.

  1. Psalm 40:14 Lit. soul

蒙主救拔脱离苦难

40 大卫的诗,交于伶长。

我曾耐性等候耶和华,他垂听我的呼求。
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。
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。
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!
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。
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。
那时我说:“看哪,我来了,我的事在经卷上已经记载了。
我的神啊,我乐意照你的旨意行,你的律法在我心里。”
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!

40 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

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.

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.

Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

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.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

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.
