40:1 我曾耐心等候耶和华，祂就侧耳垂听我的呼求。
I waited patiently on Jehovah, And He inclined to me And heard my cry.
40:2 祂从毁灭的坑里，从淤泥中，把我拉上来；祂使我的脚立在磐石上，使我脚步稳当。
Then He brought me up out of a pit of destruction, Out of the miry clay; And He set my feet upon a rock, Establishing my steps.
40:3 祂赐新歌在我口中，就是对我们神的赞美。许多人必看见而惧怕，并要倚靠耶和华。
Then He put a new song in my mouth, A praise to our God. Many see it and fear, And they trust in Jehovah.
40:4 那以耶和华为倚靠，不理会狂傲和偏向虚假之辈的，这人便为有福。
Blessed is the man Who makes Jehovah his trust And does not turn to the proud Or to those who turn aside after deception.
40:5 耶和华我的神阿，你所行的奇事，并你向我们所怀的意念甚多，不能向你陈明。我若要宣告并讲论，其事不胜述说。
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful deeds which You have done And Your thoughts toward us; They cannot be set in order unto You. Were I to declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to recount.
40:6 祭物和供物，你不喜悦；你已经开通我的耳朵；燔祭和赎罪祭，非你所要。
You do not delight in sacrifice and offering; You have prepared ears for Me; You do not require burnt offering and sin offering.
40:7 于是我说，看哪，我来了；我的事经卷上已经记载了。
Then I said, Behold, I have come; In the scroll of the book It is written concerning Me.
40:8 我的神阿，我乐意实行你的旨意；你的律法在我里面。
I delight in doing Your will, O My God; Indeed Your law is within My inward parts.
40:9 我在大会中宣传公义的佳音。看哪，我必不止住我的嘴唇；耶和华阿，这是你所知道的。
I bear tidings of righteousness In the great congregation. Behold, I will not withhold My lips; O Jehovah, You know.
40:10 我未曾把你的公义隐藏在心里；我已陈明你的信实和救恩；在大会中，我未曾隐瞒你的慈爱和真实。
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 congregation.
40:11 耶和华阿，求你不要向我止住你的怜恤；愿你的慈爱和真实，常常保守我。
You, O Jehovah, do not withhold Your compassions from me; May Your lovingkindness and Your truth Preserve me continually.
40:12 因有祸患围困我，不可胜数；我的罪孽追上了我，使我不能看见；这些罪孽比我的头发还多；我就心寒胆战。
For evils encompass me until they cannot be counted; My iniquities have so overtaken me That I cannot see; They are more numerous than the hairs of my head; Thus my heart fails me.
40:13 耶和华阿，求你喜悦搭救我；耶和华阿，求你快快帮助我。
Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; O Jehovah, hasten to help me.
40:14 愿那些寻索要灭我命的，一同抱愧蒙羞；愿那些喜悦我遭难的，退后受辱。
May those who seek my life to destroy it Be put to shame and confounded together; May those who take delight in my misfortune Be turned back and humiliated.
40:15 愿那些对我说，阿哈，阿哈的，因羞愧败亡。
May those who say to me, Aha! Aha! Be desolate because of their shame.
40:16 愿一切寻求你的，因你欢喜快乐；愿那些爱你救恩的，常说，当尊耶和华为大！
May all those who seek You Be glad and rejoice in You; May those who love Your salvation say continually, May Jehovah be magnified!
40:17 但我是困苦穷乏的；愿主顾念我。你是帮助我的，搭救我的；我的神阿，求你不要耽延。
But I am poor and needy; May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my Deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
