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.

Pacientemente esperé a Yavé, Y se inclinó hacia mí y escuchó 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.

Me sacó del pozo de la desesperación, del lodo cenagoso. Asentó mis pies sobre una roca y afirmó 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 en mi boca un canto nuevo, Alabanza a nuestro ʼElohim. Muchos verán esto. Temerán y confiarán en Yavé

4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

¡Cuán bendecido es el varón quien fijó en Yavé su confianza, Que no mira a los soberbios Ni a los que se desvían hacia la falsedad!

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.

¡Oh Yavé, mi ʼElohim, Aumentaste tus maravillas y tus designios para nosotros! ¡Nadie puede compararse contigo! Si los anuncio y hablo de ellos, No pueden ser enumerados.

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 ofrenda no te agradan. Abriste mis oídos. No demandas holocausto y sacrificio que apacigua.

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

Entonces dije: Aquí vengo. En la cabecilla del rollo está escrito acerca de Mí.

8 to do your will, O God, I desired. And your Law is within my heart."

Oh mi ʼElohim, hacer tu voluntad me agrada, Y tu Ley está dentro de mi corazón.

9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Look, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.

Anuncié justicia en la gran congregación. Ciertamente no refrené mis labios. Tú lo sabes, oh Yavé,

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.

Ni encubrí tu justicia dentro de mi corazón. He proclamado tu fidelidad y tu salvación. No oculté de la gran congregación tu misericordia y tu verdad.

11 Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

Tú, oh Yavé, no retengas de mí tu compasión. Que 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 rodearon calamidades incontables. Me alcanzaron mis iniquidades, Y no puedo levantar la vista. Son más numerosas que los cabellos de mi cabeza, Y mi corazón me falla.

13 Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.

¡Oh Yavé, complácete en librarme! ¡Apresúrate, oh Yavé, a 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 humillados Los que buscan mi vida para destruirla! Sean vueltos atrás y deshonrados Los que se deleitan en mi calamidad.

15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."

Queden consternados a causa de su vergüenza 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."

¡Regocíjense y alégrense en Ti todos los que te buscan! Digan siempre los que aman tu salvación: ¡Engrandecido sea Yavé!

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 estoy afligido y necesitado, ʼAdonay pensará en mí. Tú eres mi ayuda y mi Libertador. ¡Mi ʼElohim, no te tardes!
