詩篇 40: 使我腳立在磐石上，使我腳步穩當 | Psalm 40: You made my steps certain

他從禍坑裡，從淤泥中，把我拉上來，使我的腳立在磐石上，使我腳步穩當。He took me up out of a deep waste place, out of the soft and sticky earth; he put my feet on a rock, and made my steps certain.

（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）我曾耐性等候耶和華；他垂聽我的呼求。他從禍坑裡，從淤泥中，把我拉上來，使我的腳立在磐石上，使我腳步穩當。他使我口唱新歌，就是讚美我們神的話。許多人必看見而懼怕，並要倚靠耶和華。那倚靠耶和華、不理會狂傲和偏向虛假之輩的，這人便為有福！耶和華─我的神啊，你所行的奇事，並你向我們所懷的意念甚多，不能向你陳明。若要陳明，其事不可勝數。祭物和禮物，你不喜悅；你已經開通我的耳朵。燔祭和贖罪祭非你所要。那時我說：看哪，我來了！我的事在經卷上已經記載了。我的神啊，我樂意照你的旨意行；你的律法在我心裡。我在大會中宣傳公義的佳音；我必不止住我的嘴唇。耶和華啊，這是你所知道的。我未曾把你的公義藏在心裡；我已陳明你的信實和你的救恩；我在大會中未曾隱瞞你的慈愛和誠實。耶和華啊，求你不要向我止住你的慈悲！願你的慈愛和誠實常常保佑我！

因有無數的禍患圍困我，我的罪孽追上了我，使我不能昂首；這罪孽比我的頭髮還多，我就心寒膽戰。耶和華啊，求你開恩搭救我！耶和華啊，求你速速幫助我！願那些尋找我、要滅我命的，一同抱愧蒙羞！願那些喜悅我受害的，退後受辱！願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的，因羞愧而敗亡！願一切尋求你的，因你高興歡喜！願那些喜愛你救恩的，常說：當尊耶和華為大！但我是困苦窮乏的，主仍顧念我；你是幫助我的，搭救我的。神啊，求你不要耽延！

<To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm.> When I was waiting quietly for the Lord, his heart was turned to me, and he gave ear to my cry. He took me up out of a deep waste place, out of the soft and sticky earth; he put my feet on a rock, and made my steps certain. And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord. Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit.

O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say. You had no desire for offerings of beasts or fruits of the earth; ears you made for me: for burned offerings and sin offerings you made no request. Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book, My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart. I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words. Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting. Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever. For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.

Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help. Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble. Let those who say to me, Aha, aha! be surprised because of their shame. Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great. Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.
