Psalms 40

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.

Esperando esperé a Jehová, e inclinóse a mí, y oyó mi clamor.

2 He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

E hízome sacar de un aljibe sonoro, de un lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, enderezó mis pasos.

3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

Y puso en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza a nuestro Dios. Verán muchos, y temerán, y esperarán en Jehová.

4 Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

Bienaventurado el varón, que puso a Jehová por su confianza; y no miró a los soberbios, ni a los que declinan a la mentira.

5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us— none can compare to You— if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

Aumentado has tú, o! Jehová Dios mío, tus maravillas; y tus pensamientos para con nosotros, no te los podremos contar: si yo los anunciare, y hablare, no pueden ser enarrados.

6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

Sacrificio y presente no te agrada: orejas me has labrado: Holocausto y expiación no has demandado.

7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll:

Entonces dije: He aquí, vengo; en el envoltorio del libro está escrito de mí.

8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

Para hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, ha me agradado; y tu ley está dentro de mis entrañas.

9 I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

Yo anuncié justicia en grande congregación: he aquí, no detuve mis labios, Jehová tú lo sabes.

10 I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

No encubrí tu justicia en medio de mi corazón: tu verdad y tu salud dije: no negué tu misericordia y tu verdad en grande congregación.

11 O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

Tú, Jehová, no detengas de mí tus misericordias: tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre.

12 For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

Porque me han cercado males hasta no haber cuento: me han comprendido mis maldades, y no puedo ver: hánse aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza, y mi corazón me falta.

13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.

Quieras, Jehová, librarme: Jehová apresúrate para ayudarme.

14 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

Sean avergonzados y confusos a una los que buscan mi vida para cortarla: vuelvan atrás y avergüéncense los que quieren mi mal.

15 May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.

Sean asolados en pago de su afrenta, los que me dicen: Hala, hala.

16 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”

Regocíjense, y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; y digan siempre: Sea ensalzado Jehová, los que aman tu salud.

17 But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

Y yo afligido y necesitado; y Jehová pensará de mí: mi ayudador y mi libertador eres tú; Dios mío, no te tardes.
