📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Septuagint, Vulgate)
⚠️ Psalms use Masoretic (Hebrew) numbering, which differs from printed Vulgate and Septuagint editions: Ps 40 here = Ps 39 in print. Convert before citing a printed edition.
ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

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.
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.
Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
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!
40:12
አይደዕኩ ፡ ወነገርኩ ፡ ወበዝኃ ፡ እምኈልቍ ።
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.
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。
40:13
መሥዋዕተ ፡ ወቍርባነ ፡ ኢፈቀድከ ፡ ሥጋሰ ፡ አንጽሕ ፡ ሊተ ፤
Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.
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.
