Psalms 40

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] I waited patiently for the LORD, and he turned 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 also brought me up out of a pit of tumult, out of the miry clay; and he set my feet on a rock, making my steps secure.

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 the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn't respect 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, LORD, 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 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, but a body you prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sin offering you did not require.

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

7 Then I said, "Look, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book;

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

8 to do your will, O God, I desired. And 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 proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Look, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.

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

10 I have not hidden 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 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 Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, 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 surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed 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, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.

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

14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

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 by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."

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

16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let the LORD be exalted."

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 about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.

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