Psalms 40

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; and he attended to me, and listened to my supplication.

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

2 And he brought me up out of a pit of misery, and from miry clay: and he set my feet on a rock, and ordered my goings aright.

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

3 And he put a new song into my mouth, [even] a hymn to our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall hope 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 whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and [who] has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.

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 O Lord my God, you have multiplied your wonderful works, and in your thoughts there is none who shall be likened to you: I declared and spoke [of them]: they exceeded number.

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 would not; but a body have you prepared me: whole burnt offering and [sacrifice] for sin you did not require.

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

7 Then I said, Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,

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

8 I desired to do your will, O my God, and your law in the midst of mine heart.

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

9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; behold! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, you know my righteousness.

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

10 I have not hid your truth within my heart, and I have declared your salvation; I have not hid your mercy and your truth from the great congregation.

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 But you, Lord, remove not your compassion far from me; your mercy and your truth have helped me continually.

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

12 For innumerable evils have encompassed me; my transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; they are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; and my heart has failed 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; O Lord, draw near to help me.

Quieras, Jehová, librarme: Jehová apresúrate para ayudarme.

14 Let those that seek my soul, to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded together; let those that wish me evil be turned backward and put to shame.

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

15 Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward.

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

16 Let all those that seek you, O Lord, exult and rejoice in you; and let them that love your salvation say continually, 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; the Lord will take care of me; you are my helper, and my defender, O my God, delay not.

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