1 I waited patiently for Yahweh.
He turned to me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay.
He set my feet on a rock,
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.
4 Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust,
and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.
5 Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done,
and your thoughts which are toward us.
They can’t be declared back to you.
If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.
6 Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.
You have opened my ears.
You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
7 Then I said, "Behold, I have come.
It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
8 I delight to do your will, my God.
Yes, your law is within my heart."
9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.
Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.
10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart.
I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.
I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.
11 Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh.
Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me.
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up.
They are more than the hairs of my head.
My heart has failed me.
13 Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me.
Hurry to help me, Yahweh.
14 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it.
Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha! Aha!"
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let Yahweh be exalted!"
17 But I am poor and needy.
May the Lord think about me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
Don’t delay, my God.
1 我曾切切等候耶和华； 他转向我， 听了我的呼求。
2 他把我从荒芜的坑里， 从泥沼中拉上来； 他使我的脚站在磐石上， 又使我的脚步稳定。
3 他使我口唱新歌， 赞美我们的 神； 许多人看见了， 就必惧怕， 并且要倚靠耶和华。
4 那倚靠耶和华， 不转向高傲和偏向虚谎的人的， 这人是有福的。
5 耶和华我的 神啊！ 你所行的奇事， 并你向我们所怀的意念很多， 没有人可以和你相比； 如果我要述说陈明， 也多到不能胜数。
6 祭品和礼物不是你喜悦的。你开通了我的耳朵； 燔祭和赎罪祭， 不是你要求的。
7 那时我说： "看哪！ 我来了， 经卷上已经记载我的事；
8 我的 神啊！ 我乐意遵行你的旨意； 你的律法常在我的心里。"
9 我要在大会中传扬公义的福音； 我必不禁止我的嘴唇； 耶和华啊！ 这是你知道的。
10 我没有把你的公义隐藏在心里； 我已经述说了你的信实和救恩； 在大会中， 我没有隐瞒你的慈爱和诚实。
11 耶和华啊！ 求你的怜悯不要向我止息； 愿你的慈爱和诚实常常保护我。
12 因有无数的祸患围绕着我； 我的罪孽追上了我， 使我不能看见； 它们比我的头发还多， 以致我心惊胆战。
13 耶和华啊！ 求你开恩搭救我； 耶和华啊！ 求你快来帮助我。
14 愿那些寻找我， 要毁灭我命的， 一同抱愧蒙羞； 愿那些喜悦我遭害的， 退后受辱。
15 愿那些对我说： "啊哈！ 啊哈！ "的， 都因羞愧而惊惶。
16 愿所有寻求你的， 都因你欢喜快乐； 愿那些喜爱你救恩的， 常说： "要尊耶和华为大。"
17 至于我， 我是困苦贫穷的； 主仍顾念我。你是我的帮助， 我的拯救； 我的 神啊！ 求你不要耽延。
