Psalms 40

1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and 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 brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my goings.

E hízome sacar de un lago de miseria, del lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, y enderezó mis pasos.

3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall 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 that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

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 your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order to you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

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; my ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.

Sacrificio y presente no te agrada; has abierto mis oídos; holocausto y expiación no has demandado.

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

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

8 I delight to do your will, O my God: yes, 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 have preached righteousness in the great congregation: see, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, you know.

Anunciado he justicia en grande congregación: he aquí no detuve mis labios, Jehová, tú [lo] sabes.

10 I have not hid 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 congregation.

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 Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

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

12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: my iniquities have taken hold on me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails 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: O LORD, make haste to help me.

Quieras, oh Jehová, librarme; Jehová, apresúrate á socorrerme.

14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

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

15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.

Sean asolados en pago de su afrenta los que me dicen: ¡Ea, ea!

16 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, 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; yet the Lord thinks on me: you are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

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