PSALMS 诗篇040

（单词翻译）

PSALM¹ 40
1I waited patiently for the Lord ; he turned to me and heard my cry.
2He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire²; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
3He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn³ of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord .
4Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.
5Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.
6Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced , ; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7Then I said, "Here I am, I have come- it is written about me in the scroll⁴.
8I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
9I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, as you know, O Lord .
10I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation⁵. I do not conceal⁶ your love and your truth from the great assembly.
11Do not withhold⁷ your mercy from me, O Lord ; may your love and your truth always protect me.
12For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.
13Be pleased, O Lord , to save me; O Lord , come quickly to help me.
14May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
15May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be appalled⁸ at their own shame.
16But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "The Lord be exalted⁹!"
17Yet I am poor and needy¹⁰; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
