Psalms 40

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

Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. RESIGNADAMENTE esperé á Jehová, é inclinóse á 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 lago de miseria, del lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, y 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.

Puso luego en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza á nuestro Dios. Verán esto 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 hombre que puso á Jehová por su confianza, y no mira á los soberbios, ni á los que declinan á 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, oh Jehová Dios mío, tus maravillas; y tus pensamientos para con nosotros, no te los podremos contar: si yo anunciare y hablare de ellos, 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; has abierto mis oídos; 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.”

El hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, hame agradado; y tu ley está en medio de mis entrañas.

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

Anunciado he 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 dentro de mi corazón: tu verdad y tu salvación he dicho: no oculté tu misericordia y tu verdad en grande concurso.

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

Tú, Jehová, no apartes 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: hanme comprendido mis maldades, y no puedo levantar la vista: hanse 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, oh Jehová, librarme; Jehová, apresúrate á socorrerme.

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 á una los que buscan mi vida para cortarla: vuelvan atrás y avergüéncense los que mi mal desean.

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: ¡Ea, ea!

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

Gócense y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; y digan siempre los que aman tu salud: Jehová sea ensalzado.

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.

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