Psalms 40

Latin original · 18 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Septuagint, Ge'ez Bible)

⚠️ 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.

ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

Et exaudivit preces meas, et eduxit me de lacu miseriae et de luto faecis. Et statuit super petram pedes meos, et direxit gressus meos.

Et immisit in os meum canticum novum, carmen Deo nostro. Videbunt multi, et timebunt, et sperabunt in Domino.

Multa fecisti tu, Domine Deus meus, mirabilia tua ; et cogitationibus tuis non est qui similis sit tibi. Annuntiavi et locutus sum : multiplicati sunt super numerum.

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.

耶和華－我的上帝啊，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。

Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti ; aures autem perfecisti mihi. Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti ;
